KeePassXC is a modern open-source password manager. It is used to store and manage information such as URLs, usernames, passwords, and so on for various accounts on your web and desktop applications. KeePassXC stores all data in an encrypted database format while still providing secure access to that information. KeePassXC is helpful for people with extremely high demands of secure personal data management.
The QuickStart Guide gets you started using KeePassXC on your Windows, macOS, or Linux computer using pre-compiled binaries from the downloads page. Additionally, individual Linux distributions may ship their own versions, so please check your distribution's package list to see if KeePassXC is available. Detailed documentation is available in the User Guide.
KeePassXC has numerous features for novice and power users alike. This guide will go over the basic features to get you up and running quickly. The User Guide contains more in-depth discussions on the major features in the application.
