Review

KeePassXC is for people who like their security simple and under their control. It's a local-first password manager that stores encrypted databases on your devices or in whatever sync system you choose, without handing your vault to yet another SaaS. Browser integration is solid, the UX is straightforward, and the project moves at a careful, security-conscious pace. For devs who already live in Git, SSH, and multiple environments, it fits nicely with a self-managed mindset.

✓ Pros

  • ✓Local-first storage with full control over where your vault lives
  • ✓Open source codebase for transparency and community review
  • ✓Browser extensions and autofill support daily usage
  • ✓Great fit for developers using multiple machines and environments

✗ Cons

  • ✗Requires you to handle sync and backup strategy yourself
