KeePassXC 2.6.0 Released

I&#x27;ve been using KeePassXC ever since switching from OSX to Debian Linux. On OSX, I used 1Password and have been an advocate for years.<p>However, after being forced to upgrade (and pay again) multiple times due to API changes, and the integration stopped working with various browsers, I wasn&#x27;t a happy customer anymore. KeePassXC works just as good, if not better. I&#x27;m using it on Debian, with browser extensions and on iOS (and sometimes even on my old Macbook Pro on OSX). Being FOSS, I&#x27;m not afraid anymore that stuff will stop working at some point, because some proprietary API is deprecated.

KeePassXC + Nextcloud has surplanted any other password manager for me for the last two years. The OTP integration is great as well.

I&#x27;ve been using the original KeePass for a long time. I&#x27;m an architect, not a coder&#x2F;software developer. So my question is a bit naive on this forum, but why is KeePass 10mb installed and KeePassXC 108mb if they do the same thing? I like that KeePass has plugins that I can tailor to my needs. Does KeePassXC make the same security software changes as KeePass? I forgot one more question, can I use KeePass2Android if I switched?

If you like KeePassXC you should consider donating. I donate $5 a month because it&#x27;s worth paying for good software.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keepassxc.org&#x2F;donate&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keepassxc.org&#x2F;donate&#x2F;</a>

I am assuming there are ways to turn off health checks to “ Have I Been Pwned”. I never want my local password manager to do outcalls for any reason...

Another option you should consider: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.passwordstore.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.passwordstore.org&#x2F;</a><p>It&#x27;s just a bash script that used gpg and git. I find it the most KISS solution. Not available on phones but I don&#x27;t trust my phone with my secrets anyway.

How trusted are the iOS&#x2F;Android app compared to the &quot;mainstream&quot; desktop clients like KeepassXC ? I&#x27;m a bit wary of downloading a &quot;random client&quot; from the App Store. Are those audited&#x2F;trusted as much ?

Does anyone know if the browser integration is similar to&#x2F;better than Lastpass or Bitwarden? Does it even have browser integration?

Word of warning: Don&#x27;t use KeePassXC when your co-workers use KeePass2 using a network drive. KeePassXC doesn&#x27;t support KP2&#x27;s sync protocol. You&#x27;ll clobber other people&#x27;s changes when you save using XC. It took us a few weeks before we noticed that many passwords were missing.

Also a user. Works well in general, although I continue to be sad to see the arrogance during argumenting in an issue that is a valid and necessary usecase for many people using online banking. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;keepassxreboot&#x2F;keepassxc&#x2F;issues&#x2F;725" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;keepassxreboot&#x2F;keepassxc&#x2F;issues&#x2F;725</a>

KeepassXC with the .pdb synced with git and locally-distributed .key files has been my go-to for years. I don&#x27;t use browser extensions.

I&#x27;m excited to try this out. Just to mention two interesting projects:<p>On MacOS I use: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;macpassapp.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;macpassapp.org&#x2F;</a> (Open Source)<p>I always wanted to try: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.passbolt.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.passbolt.com&#x2F;</a> (Self-hostable)

While we&#x27;re on the subject of password managers ... I&#x27;m still looking for one with decent multi-user &amp; group support, with audit trails, which is self-hosted. Bitwarden sounded promising, but I&#x27;m put off by their MS based stack and their pricing model. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thoughts on comparing this to bitwarden? Pros, cons?

Years ago I used KeePassX. It became stale, ugly, and didn&#x27;t have a good Android app. KeePassX then moved to .NET, and didn&#x27;t work well on Linux, so I looked around. I settled on enpass as it was a paid app without a subscription, and withyour choice of sync&#x2F;backup. Enpass has excellent desktop&#x2F;mobile apps with sync using your choice of cloud service. I&#x27;m very happy with it.

Why do people insist on putting everything, even passwords, in folders? I find categorizing files, let alone passwords, into a strict taxonomy a particularly hard job of questionable usefulness.<p>It would be much handier if we could just tag the records with a number of tags + add a description and&#x2F;or comment rather than put it in a folder. I always use search rather than manual folder tree navigation anyway.

How does Keepassxc compare to other password managers (passwordstore with gpg-agent&#x2F;gnome keyring, 1password, Bitwarden, etc) in terms of protecting secrets when the vault is unlocked?<p>For example, part of data may be held unencrypted in RAM that could be read by OS or other programs. Any use of TPM?

Wait, so there&#x27;s Keepass, KeepassX and KeepassXC? I understand the X is cross-platform (initially was linux-only) whereas presumably Keepass is win-only; but what&#x27;s the &quot;community fork&quot; for? Why not improve KeepassX? And why don&#x27;t KeepassX and Keepass merge now?

I used to use KeePass and KeePassXC for years at a time, but the amount of time I have saved not having to mess with syncing issues more than makes up for the ~$30 a year for 1password that always works across windows, linux, ios and mac.

Is it better than KeePassX?

I&#x27;m curious why would anyone on Windows use KeePassXC instead of KeePass. Are KeePass plugins compatible?

Has anyone migrated from Lastpass to KeePassXC? Was it difficult?

I like the simplicity&#x2F;design of KeePassX more than XC

Been on the &quot;regular&quot; KeePass all along.<p>Should I switch?
