    Compared to KeepassXC Pro:

    • Native multi platform support (Windows, Mac, Linux, broser, Android, iOS).
    • Can be self-hosted. Neutral:
    • Always on cloud. Cons:
    • Need an account to use it.
    • Free version doesn't have TOPT.
    • Not natively compatible with .kdb .kdbx files.

    Self-hosted open source password management. Needs a server (KeepassXC only needs a kdbx file). Still, beats LastPass by a mile.

    The original granddaddy of open source password management (and inventor of kdb(x)-files). Feature-rich and very reliable. Not as lightweight and portable as KeepassXC. Comes down to personal preference.

    KeePassXC is for people who do not want to store passwords online. LastPass is online-based, which may put off people who cannot trust the Internet especially with the increasing frequency of database hacking scandals.

    Stay far away. Never trust a proprietary service with your most personal data (your passwords) or you will lose it. See the most recent security breach at LastPass in Dec 2022. KeepassXC (with Nextcloud Sync) or Bitwarden are far more trustworthy options.

    Good companion app for Android, with a clean interface and autofill support for both apps and websites. Easy to sync with a desktop DB running KeePassXC using the cloud service of your choice. Both apps keep their local copies updated as they change and have been surprisingly good at merging changes when they get out of sync.

    KeePassX is great, but KeePassXC is a fork of it that stays open source, offline and fully functional whilst ALSO running equally well on Linux, Mac and Windows AND offering browser integration with PassIFox and ChromeIPass. Simply, I no longer see the argument for KeePassX now that KeePassXC is here.
