KeePassXC

About KeePassXC

KeePassXC is a cross-platform community fork of KeePassX. Our goal is to extend and improve it with new features and bugfixes to provide a feature-rich, fully cross-platform and modern open-source password manager.

Installation

The KeePassXC QuickStart gets you started using KeePassXC on your Windows, Mac, or Linux computer using pre-compiled binaries from the downloads page.

Additionally, individual Linux distributions may ship their own versions, so please check out your distribution's package list to see if KeePassXC is available.

Additional features compared to KeePassX

Auto-Type on all three major platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS)
Twofish encryption
YubiKey challenge-response support
TOTP generation
CSV import
Command line interface
DEP and ASLR hardening
Stand-alone password and passphrase generator
Password strength meter
Using website favicons as entry icons
Merging of databases
Automatic reload when the database changed on disk
Browser integration with KeePassHTTP-Connector for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome or Chromium, and passafari in Safari. [See note about KeePassHTTP]
Browser integration with KeePassXC-Browser using native messaging for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome or Chromium
Synchronize passwords using KeeShare. See Using Sharing for more details.
Many bug fixes

For a full list of features and changes, read the CHANGELOG document.

Building KeePassXC

Detailed instructions are available in the Build and Install page or on the Wiki page.

Contributing

We are always looking for suggestions how to improve our application. If you find any bugs or have an idea for a new feature, please let us know by opening a report in our issue tracker on GitHub or join us on IRC on freenode channels #keepassxc or #keepassxc-dev.

You can of course also directly contribute your own code. We are happy to accept your pull requests.

Please read the CONTRIBUTING document for further information.

Note about KeePassHTTP

The KeePassHTTP protocol is not a highly secure protocol. It has a certain flaw which could allow an attacker to decrypt your passwords should they manage to impersonate the web browser extension from a remote address.

(See here and here).

To minimize the risk, KeePassXC strictly limits communication between itself and the browser plugin to your local computer (localhost). This makes your passwords quite safe, but as with all open source software, use it at your own risk!
