Download KeePassXC 2.6.0

KeePass Password Safe is a well-known open source password manager that was originally developed for the Windows platform, but can later work on other platforms with the help of Mono. KeePassXC is being developed in C++ with Qt for the graphics part giving it a custom look on Linux, macOS and Windows. Allows accounts to be stored, including associated data, such as username, password, and url. All data is stored securely in an aes, twofish or ChaCha20 encrypted database. Furthermore, the program can automatically generate passwords and import and export lists. For more information, we refer you to this page. The release notes for version 2.6.0 look like this:

KeePassXC 2.6.0 released

Today we have released the long awaited KeePassXC 2.6.0. This release is the culmination of a year’s worth of effort from across our development team and dedicated contributors. With 2.6.0 comes a complete overhaul of the user interface with custom themes (both light and dark), icons, and exciting features. We now have comprehensive password reports, including Have I Been Pwned password checks to find breached passwords. In addition, the YubiKey and OnlyKey integration is vastly improved with support for up to four keys plugged in simultaneously.
