Anybody use this along with a non-tech significant other? How does it compare to commercial password managers in terms of usability?

KPXC is currently my favorite password manager. Much more portable than Keepass itself (Mono, lots of plugins just don't work).

I do recommend that anyone without PW manager atm either try KPXC or Keepass itself. It's worth it for your security.

Is it worth to migrate from Keepass2 to this? Any interesting user experiences?

Previous thread about KeepPassXC 2.2.0: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14633576

I used KeePassXC for a period, but from these release notes, the UI/UX still isn't great. If you're on macOS, I recommend MacPass, which feels more native to the system, is compatible with existing KBDX databases and most-importantly, is also open-source: https://github.com/MacPass/MacPass

Without syncing or shared folders, I haven't tried it.

I can finally give this a shot without having to use the weird custom AES-based KDF Keepass used to use. Awesome.

Congrats on the release.

The Chrome Web Store link seems to 404.

Looks like the link in the github repo isn't up to date, here's another one I've found https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/keepassxc-browser/...

I currently use KeePass (regular one, not XC) with a trigger to sync with dropbox. It works very well to share passwords with my wife but it requires a bit of effort to setup (I mean for non tech people).

I have not tried KeePassXC yet (I'm under Windows), but I wonder how it compares for this kind of setup.
