KeePassXC uses the KeePass 2.x (.kdbx) password database format natively.[8] It can also import (and convert) version 2 and the older KeePass 1 (.kdb) databases. KeePassXC supports having key files and YubiKey challenge-response for additional security.[3]
The Electronic Frontier Foundation mentions KeePassXC as "easy-to-use [and] robust software".[9] A security review of KeePassXC version 2.7.4 was completed in late 2022.[10]
An accompanying browser extension[11] is available for Firefox,[12] Tor Browser, Google Chrome,[13] Vivaldi, Microsoft Edge,[14] and Chromium. Extensions can be linked by enabling browser integration in the desktop application.[15]
KeePassXC uses zxcvbn to assess password strength and can search for credential breaches using Have I Been Pwned?.[16]
