I use KeePass. Should I switch to KeePassXC?

• mxuribe 5y ago
  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 stuff works sort of ok until you have to access the same file via mobile (possible but not great), plus my family and i kept stepping on each other's toes when updating said file, etc. Not hating on keepass, as it has served my family really weell...and i'm very thankful to the keepass devs! It is simply that we might be outgrowing it a tad...maybe.

    KeePassDX works great on android.

      Thanks, I'll give it a go.

  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.

    WebAutoType. I'll give XC a try. Thanks.

  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.

  Also this: KeePass logged password in plaintext. Really bad CVE case. KPXC had no such issue. https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=keepass https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=keepass

    That's pretty bad. Luckily not on windows.

  Follow-up - I switched and it was a good decision.
