KeePassXC

$ BudgetFree · Last reviewed July 2026

KeePassXC is the leading open-source, local-first password manager: a cross-platform desktop application storing credentials in an encrypted KeePass-format database file that never touches a vendor cloud. Browser integration, TOTP generation, and passkey support cover modern workflows while the user retains full custody of the vault, optionally synced through any file service. It is entirely free with no business plan or hosted offering. It suits privacy-focused users and teams with strict data-custody requirements.
