XC is where it's at imho. It's not perfect, but it improves upon KeePassX a KeePass improvement itself. It's fast, cross platform, and has decent encryption options. It's probably not for sharing with a team of any size, though I have done it and fought with locking via outside communication, but I just hate all the enterprisey cloud password managers that live so close to a browser, and find myself going back to keepassxc (and gpg and ansible vault). There is room for growth in the business passman market.

Not sure there's that much growth potential there. In the cloud space, there's a bunch of offerings. In the on-prem space, products like Thycotic Secret Server and ManageEngine's Password Manager Pro cover the ground of companies willing to pay moderate sums of annual licensing.

I'v never heard anyone mentioning on-premises enterprise option for teams: Crypt-o [1] LDAP auth, has ACLs, uses on-prem database server. Why no love? Perhaps because windows-only. [1]: https://www.soft-o.com/ https://www.soft-o.com/

  Windows only + not open source? This is a real deal breaker.

I've reached similar conclusions; its inclusion of the SSH Agent as well as TOTP and browser integration made it a good choice for Linux. On Windows I've got a team still sticking to normal KeePass on a shared drive; not the greatest solution but it does work well with multiuser scenarios

  You guys should check out KeeShare in KeePassXC. :-)

  What's wrong with KeePass for Windows? I'm using it and it works for me. I actually prefer it to C++ version, because .NET is a managed runtime and provides defense from some common vulnerabilities which is important for security software.

    The single thing that keeps me from sticking with KeePassX is simply because it doesn't have the auto-type feature. I love that it's open source and works on all OS, but that is such a convenient hotkey that it's hard to give up.

Only used KeePassX until now but will try out XC! I keep my pw-db + image in a self-hosted (gitea) private git repo (with general filenames along 100s of files) for availability. Would be cool to be able to integrate XC with git
