KeePassXC is a desktop password manager for people who prefer to keep account details in a local file rather than an online service. You can make records for website and app logins, arrange them in groups, and search for a particular account when needed. Each record can also hold notes alongside usernames and passwords.

Keep account details in a local database and enter them into login forms without retyping each password.

The program uses a master password to open its encrypted database, with several encryption algorithms available. It can type credentials into other windows, work with supported browsers through an extension, and create passwords or passphrases. Other options include time-based one-time codes, CSV imports, database merging, and access through a command-line interface.

Features:

  • Store logins and notes in an encrypted database
  • Type saved credentials into application windows
  • Generate new passwords and passphrases
  • Create time-based one-time login codes
  • Import account records from CSV files
  • Merge changes between password databases
Windows 10 or Windows 11
