KeePassXC, alternative Linux à KeePassX
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
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.

Ouvrir vos fichiers KeePassX
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.

Does KeePassXC require an internet connection to work?
No. KeePassXC is offline-first. You can access your passwords without an internet connection. Syncing is optional and can be done via local network, WebDAV, or other methods without mandating a specific cloud service.
Can I use KeePassXC to generate two-factor authentication codes?
Yes. KeePassXC supports TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) tokens. You can add TOTP codes to your entries, and the application will generate the current code automatically.
Is KeePassXC suitable for managing SSH keys?
Yes. KeePassXC has built-in SSH agent key management. It can store private SSH keys and act as an SSH agent, allowing you to authenticate to servers without exposing your keys to the filesystem.
