## About
KeePassXC is a fork of [KeePassX](https://www.keepassx.org/) that [aims to incorporate stalled pull requests, features, and bug fixes that have never made it into the main KeePassX repository](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassx/issues/43).
KeePassXC is a community fork of [KeePassX](https://www.keepassx.org/) with the goal to extend and improve it with new features and bugfixes to provide a feature-rich, fully cross-platform and modern open-source password manager.
## Additional features compared to KeePassX

- Many bug fixes
For a full list of features and changes, read the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG) document.
### Note about KeePassHTTP
KeePassHTTP is not a highly secure protocol and has certain flaw which allow an attacker to decrypt your passwords when they manage to intercept communication between a KeePassHTTP server and PassIFox/chromeIPass over a network connection (see [here](https://github.com/pfn/keepasshttp/issues/258) and [here](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/147)). KeePassXC therefore strictly limits communication between itself and the browser plugin to your local computer. As long as your computer is not compromised, your passwords are fairly safe that way, but still use it at your own risk!
