Encrypted

The complete database is always encrypted with the industry-standard AES (alias Rijndael) encryption algorithm using a 256-bit key. KeePassXC for PC uses a database format that is compatible with KeePass Password Safe.

Your wallet works offline and requires no Internet connection.

Cross-Platform

KeePassXC for Desktop is a community fork of KeePassX, the cross-platform port of KeePass for Windows.

Every feature works cross-platform and was thoroughly tested on multiple systems to provide users with the same look and feel on every supported operating system. This includes the beloved Auto-Type feature.
