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] A security review of KeePassXC version 2.7.4 was completed in late 2022.[9]

An accompanying browser extension[10] is also available for Firefox,[11] Tor-Browser, Google Chrome,[12] Vivaldi, Microsoft Edge,[13] and Chromium. Extensions can be linked by enabling browser integration in the desktop application.[14]
