with it. It\u2019s praised across many online forums, but how good is it really? Can it stand up to the competition?<\/p>\n<p>All in all, KeePassXC definitely earns mention among the best password managers, though it comes with some sizable asterisks. The biggest one is that as an open-source product, it may be free, but it also lacks the polish of many industry leaders. As such, it\u2019s not for everybody, though anybody that likes old-school cool will love it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"review-card-body-inline fullwidth\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like\"><\/span>Here&#8217;s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Free<\/li>\n<li>Open source<\/li>\n<li>Great autofill<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Interface is clunky<\/li>\n<li>No special entries for credit cards<\/li>\n<li>No mobile app<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reviews-blurb\">How-To Geek&#8217;s expert reviewers go hands-on with each product we review.

KeePassXC is a fork of these older versions and has made some fairly major changes. The biggest of these is probably the interface and the fact that KeePassXC doesn\u2019t make the same liberal use of plugins.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any experience with KeePass, you probably agree that it could have done with an update\u2014it was probably one of the biggest strikes against it when I compared <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/718270\/bitwarden-vs.-keepass-which-is-the-best-open-source-password-manager\/\">KeePass to Bitwarden. Booting it up was a real blast from the past, with an interface that was straight from the last century.<\/p>\n<p>KeePassXC is a lot better in this regard. Though it\u2019s not as slick as some of the professionally made programs out there, it strikes a good balance between modern ease of use and early 2000s flexibility. In fact, compared with other password managers that like to roll old-school\u2014Bitwarden is a prime example\u2014I actually like KeePassXC a little better simply because it gives you so many more options.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-879991\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/keepassxc-main.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"KeePassXC's main interface\" width=\"914\" height=\"602\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The utility of the other big change could be up for debate, however. For many users, plugins are the heart and soul of KeePass, giving the program unparalleled flexibility and usefulness. Though the base version of KeePass can even charitably be best described as a bit rough, plugins let you change almost every aspect of it: the interface, autofill, security protocols, pretty much everything.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a big fan of this aspect of KeePass, I have a feeling you\u2019re not going to be crazy about KeePassXC simply because it likely isn\u2019t how you would have modified the program. For more easy-going users who don\u2019t like to tinker, though\u2014and I include myself in that group\u2014KeePassXC is an improvement in almost every way.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_KeePassXC_Easy_to_Use\"><\/span>Is KeePassXC Easy to Use?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just because it\u2019s an improvement over an early version doesn\u2019t necessarily make KeePassXC good, though. Overall, it\u2019s not too bad, but if you compare it to the ease of use of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/877608\/dashlane-password-manager-review\/\">Dashlane, say, it can be a bit rough. Though you will figure things out eventually, KeePassXC does take some getting used to.<\/p>\n<p>For this review, I used KeePassXC for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/keepassxc.org\/download\/#linux\">Linux<\/a>, but there are versions for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/keepassxc.org\/download\/#windows\">Windows<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/keepassxc.org\/download\/#mac\">Mac<\/a> as well. Currently, KeePassXC doesn\u2019t have apps for Android or iPhone\/iPad. Instead, the community <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/keepassxc.org\/docs\/#faq-platform-mobile%5C\">recommends some alternatives<\/a> that will work with your KeePassXC files.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re officially outside of the purview of this review, but I played around with some of these mobile apps, and all seemed relatively easy to use, though a far cry from the ease of use offered by paid counterparts. If you\u2019re a heavy smartphone user, KeePassXC may not be the best choice for you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Starting_With_KeePassXC\"><\/span>Starting With KeePassXC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The fact that you\u2019re dealing with a very different kind of password manager is clear from the beginning, with even the downloads page having some odd instructions. However, the main download for each operating system will work right out of the box without too much tweaking.<\/p>\n<p>Once installed, you can opt to start a new database or open an existing one. Think of a database as a repository for a specific set of passwords, each of which is encrypted and password protected. This means that KeePassXC can be used across different settings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-879994\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/keepasxc-get-started.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Getting started with KeePassXC\" width=\"802\" height=\"571\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>For example, you can have a personal database and another one you share with your spouse or your colleagues without risking account information bleeding into the other. Though having to unlock each database separately is a bit cumbersome, it does fix some issues with sharing permissions.<\/p>\n<p>If you start a new database, you\u2019ll be asked to name it as well as adjust some settings. This may be a bit too complicated for those that aren\u2019t security fanatics, so you may want to stick with the defaults. Still, I like the control KeePassXC gives you, whether you know what to do with it or not.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-879992\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/keepassxc-setup.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Setting up KeePassXC\" width=\"728\" height=\"498\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_Passwords\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Adding Passwords<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This same level of control extends to every aspect of KeepassXC, including the detail you can add to entries. I have to say that while, as a whole, it works quite well, adding new entries can feel a bit clunky after the streamlined interface of a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/872414\/1password-review\/\">1Password, especially since you can\u2019t really categorize entries, only tag them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-879988\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Keepassxc-add-item.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Adding an item in KeePassXC\" width=\"799\" height=\"598\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I like the overview you get and the detail you can add, but other services do an equally good or even better job. Dashlane, for example, lets you do all this and more, though, of course, you have to pay for the privilege. In essence, you can add almost everything to KeePassXC, but it defaults to passwords. To add things like credit card details and the like, you need to create custom fields.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Autofill_and_the_Browser_Extension\"><\/span>Autofill and the Browser Extension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Saving passwords is only part of the equation, of course. Another important aspect of password managers is their ability to autofill. I was surprised how well KeePassXC works in this regard, though to get it working feels a bit like trying to figure out some esoteric mystery.<\/p>\n<p>Like all password managers, you need the web extension to autofill passwords you come across, which in this case, means you need to install it, then manually sync it with your KeePassXC client, and then enter your password. In between these steps, you need to refresh your browser a lot, but then, like magic, it works.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike most other password managers, the browser extension isn\u2019t a mini-control room\u2014there\u2019s nothing really there. All you really get is a small KeePassXC logo in the entry field of every site you have credentials for. Then, all you need to do is click, and it just works perfectly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-879989\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/keepassxc-autofill.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"KeePassXC autofill prompt\" width=\"606\" height=\"251\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I love this autofill feature: there are no pop-ups, no confirmations, nothing. Just click, and it\u2019s done. Of all the password managers I\u2019ve reviewed, KeePassXC does this the best, without a doubt.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_KeePassXC_Free\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">Is KeePassXC Free?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another huge benefit of KeePassXC is that it\u2019s completely free. Not only can you download and use it without spending a penny, but there are also no upgrades or modules that need to be paid for. It\u2019s also free for commercial use, so businesses that want a company-wide password manager have a pretty solid option that won\u2019t cost a penny.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you could get a password manager like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/874724\/bitwarden-review\/\">Bitwarden for just $10 per year and get the same functionality as KeePassXC but with a much sleeker interface. 1Password and Dashlane, too, offer packages for less than $35 per year, meaning for a relatively small amount of money, you can get a program that does the same but is a little easier to use.<\/p>\n<p>However, for the cost (or lack thereof), KeePassXC is probably among the best password managers out there. Only Bitwarden comes close in what its free version can do.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Trust_KeePassXC\"><\/span>Can You Trust KeePassXC?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>KeePassXC seems trustworthy, though it does have a big strike against it when compared to many other security-focused software in that it hasn\u2019t undergone a third-party audit. However, you could argue those aren\u2019t foolproof, either (and I have in my article on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/853222\/should-you-trust-your-vpn\/\">whether you should trust your VPN).<\/p>\n<p>In the place of a third-party audit, KeePassXC offers something else which could be arguably better, namely continuous development. As an open-source, community-driven project, its code is under continuous review by volunteers. Where audits usually only take a snapshot of code, the method used by projects like KeePassXC means that any time any change is made, several people will be on top of it to make sure it\u2019s working as intended.<\/p>\n<p>Still, though, I can\u2019t argue with anybody that prefers to use a more professional tool that has the seal of approval of a large company and a professional audit. At the same time, the biggest password manager scandal involved LastPass, which had all that, while KeePassXC so far has operated without any issues.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_You_Use_KeePassXC\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_7\">Should You Use KeePassXC?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/keepassxc.org\/\">KeePassXC<\/a> is the best password manager that\u2019s also difficult to recommend for those that want a polished user experience. While there\u2019s a lot to like here\u2014and I considered using it as my own personal password manager for a hot minute\u2014it has a few strikes against it, all of which are in the interface, though not being able to add payment cards by default is annoying.<\/p>\n<p>While I like that KeePassXC is free, the reasonable cost of most password managers\u2014most are less than $35 per year\u2014is worth the improved interface you\u2019ll get every time. That said, if you don\u2019t mind messing around with buttons and you like your software open-source and community-made, KeePassXC may be one of the best options out there.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-heading\">\n<div class=\"rating\">\nRating: <strong>8\/10<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong class=\"more-info-hover\" data-nosnippet=\"\">?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong class=\"rating-info\" data-nosnippet=\"\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 &#8211; Does not work<\/li>\n<li>2 &#8211; Barely functional<\/li>\n<li>3 &#8211; Severely lacking in most areas<\/li>\n<li>4 &#8211; Functions, but has numerous issues<\/li>\n<li>5 &#8211; Fine yet leaves a lot to be desired<\/li>\n<li>6 &#8211; Good enough to buy on sale<\/li>\n<li>7 &#8211; Great and worth purchasing<\/li>\n<li>8 &#8211; Fantastic, approaching best-in-class<\/li>\n<li>9 &#8211; Best-in-class<\/li>\n<li>10 &#8211; Borderline perfection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/strong>\n<\/div>\n<p>Price: <strong>$0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Free<\/li>\n<li>Open source<\/li>\n<li>Great autofill<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Interface is clunky<\/li>\n<li>No special entries for credit cards<\/li>\n<li>No mobile app<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
