Homepage: KeePassXC Password Manager
GitHub: GitHub - keepassxreboot/keepassxc: KeePassXC is a cross-platform community-driven port of the Windows application “Keepass Password Safe”.
KeePassXC is a modern, secure, and open-source password manager that stores and manages your most sensitive information.

You can run KeePassXC on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. KeePassXC is for people with extremely high demands of secure personal data management. It saves many types of information, such as usernames, passwords, URLs, attachments, and notes in an offline, encrypted file that can be stored in any location, including private and public cloud solutions.



Today, we are releasing KeePassXC 2.7.6 with a few bug fixes and enhancements. This version fixes a crash on macOS that occurred on exit. We also improved the visual display when dragging entries to move/copy, Quick Unlock is now automatically activated when unlocking for Auto-Type or Browser access, and the Auto-Type button and shortcut key will be disabled when Auto-Type is turned off for the entry or group.

KeePassXC 2.7.7​

Passkeys Support​

This release delivers the official implementation of Passkeys for KeePassXC! This feature is a year in the making and uses the existing browser integration service to both store and use Passkeys for authentication.

If you haven’t heard of Passkeys yet, they are an alternative to passwords that are incredibly secure and privacy preserving. Read more about Passkeys and also read our documentation.

Still my favourite password manager :D

EDIT: The below is probably because it's an .msi file that is downloaded. Just odd though I could get it from the MS store, just not latest version.

Firefox gave a Not Commonly Downloaded warning but clear on VirusTotal.

and then SmartScreen blocked it. Guess I won't update for now and maybe look at classic KeePass with the TOTP Addon.

Had KPXC v2.7.8 installed on my Windows 11 PC and it was working well. Saw that v2.7.9 was available so I installed the new version but it wouldn't run. Rebooted but still no luck, the program wouldn't run and I wasn't able to open the database file. Uninstalled it and reinstalled v2.7.8 which is working fine again. Any ideas why I can't get v2.7.9 to run? TIA

I have KeePassXC setup to automatically execute when logging into Windows, but this morning it failed to open (silent crashing). I tried to run it manually but it still failed, so tried rebooting with the same results. I recalled this happening after the last update of KPXC which required reinstallation of Microsoft Visual C++ VC_redist.x64.exe as explained on the KPXC download page. So I executed the file selecting the option to repair the installation, and then after a reboot KPXC ran successfully again. Hope this is helpful to others that may experience the same problem.

You can use Patch My PC to check and update Microsoft Visual C++ VC_redist.x64.exe without waiting for KeePassXC to fail, it is an important component for other apps too.

I think I had to do a fresh install of it or the C++ when that happened to me. Part of the reason I keep going back to classic Keepass and can use the same database file // key.
