About KeePassXC
KeePassXC is a free, open-source, cross-platform password manager that stores your passwords in an encrypted KeePass database file on your own computer instead of a cloud service. It supports a browser extension for autofill, TOTP codes, SSH agent integration and key files or hardware keys for extra protection. Because the database is just a file, you choose how to sync it, for example with a cloud drive or Syncthing, and mobile access comes from compatible third-party KeePass apps. It is ideal for users who want complete control and no account at all.
Best for: Users who want a fully offline password manager with no account.
