KeePassXC 2.7.0

KeePassXC is a community fork of KeePassX, a native cross-platform port of KeePass Password Safe, 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.

KeePassXC currently uses the KeePass 2.x (.kdbx) password database format as its native file format in versions 3.1 and 4. Database files in version 2 can be opened, but will be upgraded to a newer format. KeePass 1.x (.kdb) databases can be imported into a .kdbx file, but this process is one-way.

Main Features

• Secure storage of passwords and other private data with AES, Twofish or ChaCha20 encryption
• Cross-platform, runs on Linux, Windows and macOS without modifications
• File format compatibility with KeePass2, KeePassX, MacPass, KeeWeb and many others (KDBX 3.1 and 4.0)
• SSH Agent integration
• Auto-Type on all supported platforms for automagically filling in login forms
• Key file and YubiKey challenge-response support for additional security
• TOTP generation (including Steam Guard)
• CSV import from other password managers (e.g., LastPass)
• Command line interface
• Stand-alone password and passphrase generator
• Password strength meter
• Custom icons for database entries and download of website favicons
• Database merge functionality
• Automatic reload when the database was changed externally
• Browser integration with KeePassXC-Browser for Google Chrome, Chromium, Vivaldi, and Mozilla Firefox.
