Overall Satisfaction with KeePassXC

I use it to access my KeePass files, which is where I store my personal passwords and passwords that are unique to me. I needed an offline way of securely storing my passwords and I wanted a way that was open source, so that the codebase can be audited. I also needed something that would run on Linux.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Secure, with a variety of encryption options
  • Can perform autotype on Xorg

Cons

  • Can't autotype on wayland
  • Interface can be a little clunky at times
  • It doesn't cost anything but does the job. No specific ROI impact.
I think some of the interface could be improved. Also, it would be nice to have autotype working in Wayland. Other than that though, it's easy enough that I've been able to teach non-technical people how to use it effectively.
KeePass isn't cloud based. This is both good and bad. It doesn't have a plugin for your browser (there is a plugin, but I've not had good luck using it.) I wanted to make sure my passwords were always secure, so I didn't want to use a public facing service. If I need sync to multiple devices, I just use Google Drive. You can also add additional layers of security by using key files. LastPass is more "turnkey" but I feel the KeePass beats it on security since you have an additional layer of not relying on a cloud service.
