KeePassXC (originally KeePassX[2][3]) is a free and open-source cross-platform password manager. It is built using the Qt toolkit, which allows it to run on Linux, Windows, macOS, and BSD,[4][5][6] unlike the original KeePass software.

KeePassXC uses the KeePass 2.x (.kdbx) password database format natively.[7] 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.[2]

The Electronic Frontier Foundation mentions KeePassXC as "easy-to-use [and] robust software".[8] A security review of KeePassXC version 2.7.4 was completed in late 2022.[9]

An accompanying browser extension[10] is available for Firefox,[11] Tor-Browser, Google Chrome,[12] Vivaldi, Microsoft Edge,[13] and Chromium. Extensions can be linked by enabling browser integration in the desktop application.[14]
