What is it?

KeePassXC is a community-driven, cross-platform port of the Windows application KeePass Password Safe. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and stores usernames, passwords, URLs, attachments and notes in an offline, encrypted database file that can be kept in any location, including private or public cloud storage.

Entries are organized into customizable groups and can have user-defined titles and icons. The integrated search supports advanced patterns, and a password generator creates passwords from any character set or passphrases. The project also supports TOTP generation, YubiKey and OnlyKey challenge-response, and databases in KDBX 3 and 4 format.

For daily use, KeePassXC offers browser integration with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Chromium, Vivaldi, Brave and Tor Browser, including passkey support, plus Auto-Type into desktop applications. It also includes a keepassxc-cli command line tool, an SSH agent integration and a FreeDesktop Secret Service implementation.
