How to Manage Your Passwords with KeePassXC

KeePassXC is an open-source, offline password manager that puts you in full control of your digital security. Follow these steps to set up your encrypted vault and simplify your logins:

  1. Create a New Database
    Launch KeePassXC and click Create new database. Choose a name and save the .kdbx file to a secure location. Set a strong Master Password—this is the only password you will need to remember, so make it complex but memorable.
  2. Add and Organize Entries
    Click the Add New Entry icon (the green plus sign). Enter the Title, Username, and Password for your account. You can use the built-in Password Generator (dice icon) to create uncrackable, unique passwords for every site.
  3. Enable Browser Integration
    To log in instantly, go to Settings > Browser Integration and enable support for your browser. Install the KeePassXC-Browser extension in Chrome or Firefox to allow the software to auto-fill your credentials securely.
  4. Save and Backup
    Always click the Save icon after making changes. Since KeePassXC is offline, your data is only on your machine. Regularly back up your .kdbx file to an external drive or a secure cloud folder to prevent data loss.
Pro Tip: Use the "Auto-Type" feature (Ctrl+V) if you prefer not to use browser extensions. KeePassXC will automatically switch to your browser and type your username and password into the active fields!

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no "password reset" feature. Because KeePassXC is fully encrypted and offline, your data is inaccessible without the Master Password. For maximum security, we recommend writing your Master Password down and storing it in a physical safe or using a Key File as a secondary factor.

No. KeePassXC is a local-first application. Your password database is stored only on your computer (or wherever you choose to save the .kdbx file). This ensures that your private information is never vulnerable to server-side hacks or third-party breaches.

This is usually due to a setting mismatch. Ensure that "Enable Browser Integration" is checked inside the KeePassXC desktop application settings. You must also have the application open and the database unlocked for the browser extension to retrieve your passwords.

Yes. While there isn't an "official" KeePassXC mobile app, the .kdbx file format is a standard. You can use compatible open-source apps like KeePassDX (Android) or Strongbox/KeePassium (iOS) to open your database on your mobile device.
