KeePassXC (originally KeePassX) 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, unlike the original KeePass software.

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