    It's free, open source, and, most important, more secure.

    KeePassXC is actively updated, has changed my life for the better, and is endorsed by the EFF = https://ssd.eff.org/module/how-use-keepassxc

    Unfortunately, KeePassXC lacks a very useful option to display custom columns in the main list (e.g. if you add a field like "email" or "displayname" to your password entries, you might want to be able to quickly see where have you used a given email.) This is a dealbreaker for me.

    Best of all, you also have the auto fill-in for any app too! Isn't that great?

    Database can be natively synchronized with cloud storage. You can have a database cert + password protected and have the database tranparently synchronized without needed cert.

    Best android alternative to KeePass. Been using this since a few years.

    I would recommend using a KeyFile along with the Master Password for the best 2FA (2 Factor Authentication).

    Despite KeePassX lacks some fancy features of KeePass and its development is slower, it is native to Linux and have much better performance and bit better look there. Still there are problems about storing the database file in cloud, as KeePassX does not support such services nor plugins, which could help (so you depend on another software to do syncing).
