KeePassXC 2.6.1

KeePassXC

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.
