## What it is
KeePassX is a cross-platform desktop password manager that stores credentials and other sensitive data in an encrypted database compatible with KeePass Password Safe. It offers AES/Twofish 256-bit encryption, a customizable password generator, search, grouping, and auto-type on Linux.

## Use cases
- manage passwords in an encrypted vault
- open a keepass kdbx database on linux or mac
- generate strong random passwords
- store credentials securely offline
- autofill passwords into applications
- import a keepass 1 kdb database

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source, offline password manager
- you need a native cross-platform app compatible with the KeePass database format
- you prefer a lightweight GUI without cloud sync or plugins

## When to avoid
- you need browser integration or plugin support, which KeePassX lacks
- you need auto-type on macOS or Windows, which is Linux-only
- you want actively developed features - development has stopped and KeePassXC is the maintained fork
