It is built using Qt5 libraries, making it a multi-platform application which can be run on Linux, Windows, macOS and BSD.[4][5][6]

KeePassXC uses the KeePass 2.x (.kdbx) password database format as the native format.[7] It can also import (and convert) version 2 and the older KeePass 1 (.kdb) databases. KeePassXC supports having key files and YubiKey challenge-response for additional security.[2]

The Electronic Frontier Foundation mention KeePassXC as "an example of a password manager that is open-source and free."[8]

An accompanying browser extension[9] is also available for Firefox,[10] Google Chrome[11] and Microsoft Edge.[12]
