About KeePassXC
KeePassXC is a free and open-source password manager that started as a community fork of KeePassX. It is designed for users who want complete control over their sensitive data, as it operates entirely offline without any cloud dependency. The application allows users to store passwords, secure notes, and attachments in an encrypted database file using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. Because it is a local application, KeePassXC does not collect user data, track behavior, or require an account. It is highly extensible, featuring browser extensions for auto-filling credentials and integration with SSH agents and TOTP generators. The project is maintained by a global community of volunteers and is licensed under the GNU General Public License, ensuring the code remains transparent and auditable.
