KeePass is the original project. It is an open source dotnet application. The source code, as of the last time I checked, is released as a tar/zip with the binaries only.
KeePassX is an open source c++ application. It was one of the cross platform applications to manage KeePass databases. It has not been under very active development for a while.
KeePassXC is a fork of KeePassX which is under active developement. They have added many features and improvements and has stayed up to date with kdbx updates.
- sebazzz 7y agoIs KeePassXC also audited? The main KeePass has had multiple security audits, also thanks to the EU who funded it one time. Seems relevant for a password manager.
- jbj 7y agoThere is still an active KeePass bug bounty from the european commission: https://www.intigriti.com/public/project/keepass/keepassbyec https://www.intigriti.com/public/project/keepass/keepassbyec
- ASalazarMX 7y agoWhile I like KeePassXC more, this is even more relevant as KeePassXC is made in C++, while Keepass is made in C#. C++ makes it easier to shoot yourself in the foot. It hasn't: https://keepassxc.org/docs/#faq-audit https://keepassxc.org/docs/#faq-audit
- packet_nerd 7y agoKeePassXC is fantastic, I especially like the good Yubikey integration. The one small feature I miss from the original KeePass was the password templates. I like all my passwords to follow a grouped pattern so its easier to type into a phone or something while still being strong.
- arunc 7y agoKeepass has templates for password generators. You can create custom templates as well. I've been using it since 2008 without any issue.
- Meph504 7y agodo you mean keepassXC? His statement was saying he missed this feature that is in keepass.
- true_tuna 7y agoI use keepassxc with yubikey as well. I like it because it’s cross-platform. It works quite well.
