KeePassXC als Linux-Alternative zu KeePassX
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
KeePassXC is the direct successor to KeePassX, making it an ideal replacement for anyone looking to move off Windows or simply upgrade their Linux setup. It retains the core offline, encrypted database model while significantly improving performance and security. For users who relied on KeePassX for basic credential storage, KeePassXC offers a smoother experience with better browser integration and modern encryption. It is particularly well-suited for Linux users who want a native, open-source solution that integrates deeply with the desktop environment without forcing cloud dependency.

Ihre KeePassX-Dateien öffnen
KeePassXC is fully compatible with KeePassX database files. You can open .kdbx files created by KeePassX directly in KeePassXC without conversion. The application supports the standard KeePass 2 format, ensuring that your existing data, including attachments and custom fields, remains intact. If you used older KeePass 1 formats, KeePassXC can import them, though it is recommended to save them as KeePass 2 for future compatibility.
