Our verdict: the most trustworthy choice for anyone who wants full offline control of their passwords and is willing to manage syncing themselves.
KeePassXC is a free, open-source password manager that keeps everything on your machine. Your credentials live in a single encrypted KDBX database file protected by a master passphrase, an optional key file, or a hardware key — there is no account to create and no company server holding your data. Built as a community-driven continuation of KeePassX, it runs natively on macOS, Windows and Linux with a consistent, polished interface.
Beyond storage, KeePassXC covers the practical daily workflow: browser integration through the KeePassXC-Browser extension, Auto-Type for applications outside the browser, a built-in TOTP generator, passkey support, and SSH agent integration. Because the database is just a file, you decide how — or whether — it syncs across devices. An independent security audit in 2023 concluded the application provides sufficient cryptographic protection when used with a strong passphrase and the current database format.
