About KeePass
KeePass is the veteran of password managers: completely free, open source, and your vault file simply lives on your own computer instead of in the cloud. That means maximum control, but also maximum do-it-yourself: syncing between devices, backups, and browser integration are all on you to set up. For technical users who prefer to trust no one but themselves, this is the purest choice.
“Maximum control: your vault stays on your own computer and everything is open source. Sync and backups are on you, so this one is for technical users.”Editorial team, via PasswordShortlist
