Password Safe als Linux-Alternative zu KeePassX
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Password Safe is a solid, lightweight alternative to KeePassXC for users who prefer a single-file format and value simplicity over advanced plugin ecosystems. It handles core needs like encrypted storage, password generation, and YubiKey support well. However, it lacks the extensive browser integration and cross-platform sync flexibility of KeePassXC. If you rely heavily on browser autofill or complex group structures, you may find it limiting. For basic credential management with a focus on offline security and YubiKey hardware authentication, it is a capable, open-source choice.

Ihre KeePassX-Dateien öffnen
Password Safe does not directly open KeePass 2 (.kdbx) files used by KeePassXC. To migrate, you must export your data from KeePassXC to a format Password Safe supports, such as CSV or a text-based format, and then import it into Password Safe. Direct file compatibility is not available, so a conversion step is mandatory.
