About KeePassXC
KeePassXC is a community-developed, cross-platform password manager. It stores passwords, notes and other credentials in a single encrypted database file that stays on your device or in a storage location you choose, rather than in a vendor's cloud account.
It uses the KDBX database format, so databases can also be opened by other KeePass-compatible applications. Features include a password and passphrase generator, Auto-Type for filling in login forms, and optional browser integration through the KeePassXC-Browser extension.
On Windows, the official download page offers installers and portable ZIP packages for x64 and ARM64 PCs running Windows 10 or 11. A separate legacy installer for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 is tied to an older release that is no longer supported.
Key features
- Encrypted password database stored in a file you control
- KDBX format compatible with other KeePass-family apps
- Password and passphrase generator
- Auto-Type to fill in login forms
- Browser integration via the KeePassXC-Browser extension
- Time-based one-time passwords (TOTP)

The official download page publishes a PGP signature and a SHA-256 digest for the current Windows installers and portable ZIPs.
Before you install: confirm you are on the official project domain, check that the publisher and release notes match, and compare any published checksum or signature with the file you downloaded. Do not download installers from unofficial mirrors.
How to install
- Open the official KeePassXC download page.
- Choose the installer or portable ZIP for your architecture (x64 for most PCs, ARM64 for Windows on Arm devices).
- Optionally verify the download using the published SHA-256 digest or PGP signature.
- Run the installer, or extract the portable ZIP to a folder you control.
- Create a new database and choose a strong master password you will not forget. KeePassXC cannot recover a lost master password.
