   Bitwarden vs KeePassXC Comments

   Comment by 23C5DA · Dec 22, 2021

   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.

   Positive comment by Marco Bartoli · Dec 9, 2022

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

   Negative comment by Ihsan Praditya · Nov 23, 2022

   Bitwarden is not faster than KeePassXC for low-end device

   KeePass vs KeePassXC Comments

   Positive comment by Marco Bartoli · Dec 9, 2022

   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.

   Positive comment by Guest · Nov 12, 2024

   KeePass can be used with plugins which allows for more flexibility

   Proton Authenticator is not a password manager, it is "only" a 2FA manager. Proton Pass is a password manager from the Proton team.

   Proton Pass vs KeePassXC Comments

   Negative comment by inson1 · Nov 19, 2023

   I dont like that Proton has 5 products. I like companies with one product. If they fuck up, you would have to switch most of products you are using to something else.

   Positive comment by AHMEDQ · Mar 16, 2024

   It has a very practical free plan, open source, encrypted, and available on all platforms. There is this wonderful feature to create memorable passwords, folders, and allies that go back to the main email. What more could I want?

    Keepass2Android vs KeePassXC Comments

    Positive comment by Kelson V · Jul 25, 2022

    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.

    Last release 2.0.3 was in september 2016 https://github.com/keepassx/keepassx/releases https://www.keepassx.org/newsLast commit October 2017.It is because the project has gone innactive that KeePassXC was born.

    KeePassX vs KeePassXC Comments

    Negative comment by John Fastman · Mar 6, 2017

    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.
