Password Safe ou KeePassX : une bonne alternative sous Linux ?

Password Safe, alternative Linux à KeePassX

Mis à jour le 1 novembre 2026

Notre avis

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.

Ce qui change

Lacks native, deep browser integration for autofill compared to KeePassXC

Syncing relies on external tools (like Syncevolution or manual copying) rather than built-in cloud or network options
Fewer advanced features like custom fields or plugin support
Interface is more traditional and less modern than KeePassXC

Ouvrir vos fichiers KeePassX

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.

Passer de KeePassX à Password Safe, étape par étape

Open KeePassXC and select the database you wish to migrate
Go to Database > Export and choose CSV as the format
Save the exported CSV file to a secure location
Open Password Safe and create a new database with a strong master password
Use the Import function in Password Safe to load the CSV file
Verify that all entries, usernames, and passwords imported correctly
