What I love on KeePassXC: * Runs on Linux/Mac/Windows and there are compatible clients for Android. Make your own cloud with a RaspberryPi referred by a DDNS and you'll have super powers. * Auto-type. Is tricky to get it working but once you get it you'll become addicted. * The UI makes it much easier to copy and paste fields and the notes are clearly visible. I often use the notes to store things like github tokens…

I use KeePass. Should I switch to KeePassXC?

You read my mind, as i was just asking myself the same thing. I have recently been thinking of switching over to bitwarden from classic keepass...but now i see keepassXC, and wondered what - if any - compelling feature/need that keepassXC brings...? p.s. - Oh, and the reason for considering even moving to bitwarden is ease of mobile access by several people at once...since schlepping a keepass database via file sync…

KeePassDX works great on android.

You can have multiple URL's per entry. However, those only work with the browser extension. Edit entry and go to Browser Integration tab. There's a list of additional URL's.

Wow! Now I feel stupid.

Thank you. That's very cool.

Do you use any plugins with KeePass? KeePassXC might have those features built in. I had plugins for TOTP, SSH agent, and browser integration in KeePass, and it made setting it up and maintaining it a mild pain, but XC has them out of the box.

KPXC is brilliant. Recently I switched to it from BitWarden and I am satisfied. The only issue for me is the autotype support on Wayland (it's not there yet; currently only able to auto fill password and username for xwayland app).

I am curious why you switched from Bitwarden? Usually when people are exiting a password manager it’s migrating to Bitwarden or KeePass but you’re the first I’ve heard moving from Bitwarden itself.

I use keepass2 at work on a PC/windows and KeepassXC on my home computers (Mac and Linux). The only thing that make me still liking Keepass2 more is its compatibility with plugins. I can't wait for keepassXC to support them.

Tagging was the single biggest thing I was missing in KeePassXC. Great to see it finally released. I guess it is time to clean my database a bit.

KeePassXC is a great program and combined with synthing, excellent solution to managing your passwords.

One of the things I like about the auto-type is that you can reconfigure it on a per-site basis in case the login sequence isn't the usual. I can have it page through my company's sso labrynth, enter tenancy IDs, trigger my preferred duo method or even navigate to a subpage after logging in. With most other PW managers you are just left with what it gives you and if it doesn't detect the logon fields, that's just too bad.

I can also make it auto-type into remote sessions, non-browser applications, and """""extremely secure""""" fields that don't allow you to paste into them.

I do use the 'url in title bar' browser extension (there are a lot of these) to help it lock on properly.

Recent convert here. The answer is Yes.

I had to use the old/creaky/unmaintained KeePassBrowser addon for Firefox back when I was still on regular KeyPass. The KeePassXC-Browser addon is still supported, and much cleaner.
