### "Free password manager with local storage"

January 17, 2025

4.0

Pros

I needed a free and open-source software to manage my passwords at a company level since I have so many passwords that I can't remember them all. It had to be non-cloud-based due to company policies. I also needed it for Windows. KeepassXC was the solution.

Cons

The GUI is very simple but not too clear, probably it is the major problem

### "Open source, good for single device people"

April 11, 2025

4.0

Overall it was good to go from nothing to easing into password management, but I could just as easily have jumped into another util

Pros

Standalone app, open source & auditable.

Cons

Can't use across multiple devices. Syncing vault file is problematic, as opened vaults will not be actively synced, causing versioning conflicts between devices. With no comparison functionality to reconcile the differences, things get bad fast.

### "Save passwords in appealing UI"

March 17, 2022

5.0

I use KeePassXC to manage my passwords (personal and business).

Pros

With KeePassXC I see the same advantages as with KeePass: passwords are stored securely and locally on my hard drive. In addition, the software is open source. The UI integrates very well into Windows 10/ 11.

Cons

The browser plugin for Firefox is a bit complicated to use. In addition, the autofil functionality in Firefox rarely works.

I used KeePass before, but switched to KeePassXC because of its better UI.

### "Security heaven"

March 25, 2024

5.0

Very pleasant, I set the master password to be my actual physical key and never had to worry again.

Pros

If one cares at all about security they'd better start using password managers, and if one wants total peace of mind, use this one! Locally stored passwords that can be secured via physical MFA such as Yubikeys, I haven't had a single problem since the first day I set it up, quite frankly I sleep better at night knowing that my credentials are safe and secure, even in the event of a breach, it only takes a moment to generate a new strong password and deny access to the malicious hackers.

Cons

I wish all password managers implemented the best practices, this beauty lets me navigate the internet in peace.

### "Fast, user-friendly password manager"

November 16, 2022

5.0

I use it daily as my main password manager / MFA device and I'm satisfied with the features, ease of use and speed

Pros

I use it on all my devices, synchronising the database. I use it for all my credentials, including MFA/TOTP, one of the best features in the product in my opinion. I also like the biometric integration, it's very handy.

Cons

I am very satisfied with KeepassXC, I don't see any cons

Reason for choosing KeePassXC

TOTP support, cross platform and search is better that other products

### "Great password manager for everyday use"

August 6, 2022

4.0

I'm using KeePassXC to generate and store passwords in work. It definetely improves security as I'm always using random passwords. It's very lightweight program and provides smooth experience. The main reason, why I'm not using it also for private is because it lacks of straightforward synchronization with other devices (mobile). In general it is possible, but requires much technical knowledge and even though I could do it, I have a feeling that it might be a bit clunky (and I want to be pretty sure that I have access to my random generated passwords). In general it is a very good program if you only use it on single PC.

Pros

KeePassXC is simple password manager, but provides most functionalities that you need. It's free and provides good encryption of the password database.

Cons

It might be too complicated to use by less experienced users, especially when it comes to synchronization with other devices.

### "The best password manager I've ever used"

July 29, 2022

Pros

Managing my passwords has never been this easy. You can group your passwords and name your groups, if it has an extension on your browser, which makes it much easier to use.

Cons

I have no complaints, it is foss and easy to use.

### "Bewertung des Programmes KeePassXC"

March 20, 2024

5.0

KeePassXC ist ein gutes Tool zum verwalten aller Passwörter. Das Programm hat eine breite Kompatiblität mit Browsern und Betriebssystemen.

Pros

KeePassXC ist komplett Lokal. Bedeutet, es kommt keiner so einfach von draußen drauf um irgendwelche Passwörter zu sehen.

Cons

Die Synchronisierung zwischen Geräten ist mir anfangs schwer gefallen aber mit Hilfe von Syncthing war das dann auch kein Problem mehr.
