KeePassXC — Secure Password Management

Last updated: May 2026

KeePassXC is a cross-platform password manager that stores your credentials in an encrypted database. It is recommended for both beginners and advanced users.

Key Features

  • Strong encryption (AES-256, ChaCha20).
  • Integrated with Tails and Whonix.
  • Password generator for strong unique passwords.
  • Browser integration (optional).
  • Cross-platform: Windows, macOS, Linux.

Best Practices

  • Use a very strong master password (at least 20 characters with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols).
  • Back up your database in multiple secure locations.
  • Never reuse passwords across accounts.
  • Keep the database on your encrypted persistent storage (in Tails or Whonix).
  • Enable two-factor authentication for your most important accounts.

Setting Up KeePassXC

  1. Install KeePassXC from the official website or package manager.
  2. Create a new database and choose a strong master password.
  3. Set up a key file if you want additional security.
  4. Start adding your passwords and organizing them into groups.
  5. Back up your database file regularly.
Important: Your password manager is the key to all your accounts. Protect it with your life. If you lose your master password, your data is gone forever.
