KeePassXC
Your passwords in a file you own — no company cloud.
KeePassXC keeps an encrypted password file on your computer. Free, open source, and audited — with no vendor syncing your vault unless you set that up yourself.
It is the right pick when you want maximum control and are happy to handle backups. Bitwarden still wins for most people who want set-and-forget.
Why it's here
- Local encrypted vault file — you own the data
- Free, open source, and actively maintained
- You choose how (or whether) to sync across devices
- Best for control freaks who handle their own backups
