## What it is
KeePassXC is a cross-platform, open-source password manager that stores passwords and other sensitive data in an offline, AES-256/Twofish-encrypted KDBX database file. It offers a password generator, browser integration, auto-type, SSH agent and YubiKey support, and a companion CLI tool.

## Use cases
- store passwords in an encrypted offline database
- generate strong passwords and passphrases
- autofill credentials in the browser
- manage SSH keys with an SSH agent
- unlock accounts with passkeys
- avoid cloud-based password managers
- share a KeePass database across Windows, macOS, and Linux

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source, offline-first password manager with no cloud dependency
- you need cross-platform support and KeePass KDBX compatibility
- you want hardware key (YubiKey) or key-file protection
- you need browser autofill, auto-type, or SSH agent integration

## When to avoid
- you need seamless multi-device cloud sync out of the box
- you want a team/enterprise credential vault with role-based sharing
- you prefer a mobile-first password manager (no official mobile app)
