KeePassXC is a good trade-off between security and usability
Rating: 9 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
KeePassXC is used for absolutely mission critical data and credentials which cannot be trusted to be stored by the third party provider on the cloud.
Pros
- Local duplication and backup of password managers like 1password
- Small subset set of data which is not trusted to be stored in commercial password managers like 1password
- Better aligning credentials management with multiple profiles
Cons
- Usability is worse if compared to other solutions but this is a good thing
- References are a good feature, but it may be complicated to make them work as expected
- Integration with other applications like browsers can be definitely improved
- Features like secure notes and storing secrets that are not credentials but very sensitive like credit cards are definitely missed.
Likelihood to Recommend
KeePassXC works well for storing encrypted credentials locally.
Implementing solutions requiring KeePassXC database synchronization between different devices might be challenging
