FAQs
Where do my passwords live?
In one encrypted file on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded by the app itself, so backups and any syncing between devices are your choice.
What happens if I forget the master password?
The database cannot be opened without it, and there is no recovery service. Store a written copy somewhere safe that only you control.
Is KeePassXC free to use?
Yes. It is free and open source software released under the GPL, for personal and work use alike, with no paid tier.
