Three Keepass Clients Available for Windows

Publish: 2018-03-09 | Modify: 2018-03-09

KeePass is an open-source password manager. Previously, I shared "Setting up KeePass in Chinese and Chrome Autofill Passwords". As the number of registered accounts increases, storing passwords in plain text or setting the same password is not secure. Using a password management tool will make it easier for you. Of course, if you don't like to tinker, you can try Lastpass. If you are already using KeePass, you can take a look at the following three clients to see which one suits you.

Official Client

Pros: The official client is small in size and feature-rich, supporting functions such as auto-start and password autofill.

Cons: It does not support cross-platform use and has a relatively plain interface.

KeeWeb

Pros: KeeWeb is a third-party client developed using Node.js. It is completely free and open-source, supports multiple platforms, has a refined interface, and even supports direct web access.

Cons: Opening speed is relatively slow and it does not support setting password autofill.

KeePassXC

KeePassXC

Download Link: https://keepassxc.org/download#windows

Pros: KeePassXC supports most of the features of the official client, but has a much nicer interface. It also supports cross-platform use and is a free and open-source product.

Cons: No drawbacks have been identified at the moment.

Conclusion

After using all three clients for a while, I found that each has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you value rich functionality and don't have any requirements for the interface, you can use the official client. If you value a beautiful interface, KeeWeb may be more suitable for you. If you want to strike a balance between interface and functionality, choosing KeePassXC is a good choice. Currently, xiaoz is using KeePassXC.
