Published·Modified·

KeePass is an open-source password manager. Previously, we shared how to set up Chinese language and Chrome auto-fill for KeePass. As the number of registered accounts grows, storing passwords in plain text or reusing the same password is insecure. Using a password management tool makes things much easier. Of course, if you prefer not to tinker, you can try LastPass. If you are already using KeePass, take a look at the three clients below to see which one suits you best.

Official Client

Pros: The official client is lightweight and feature-rich, supporting auto-start at boot and password auto-fill.

Cons: It does not support cross-platform use, and the interface is quite plain.

KeeWeb

KeeWeb Interface

Download Link: https://keeweb.info/

Pros: Developed using Node.js, KeeWeb is a free and open-source third-party client. It supports multiple platforms, features a refined interface, and notably allows direct web access.

Cons: It can be slow to open and does not support setting up password auto-fill.

KeePassXC

KeePassXC Interface

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

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

Cons: None identified so far.

Summary

After using all three clients for a while, I found that each has its own strengths and weaknesses. If you prioritize functionality and don't mind the interface, the official client is a good choice. If you prefer a beautiful interface, KeeWeb might suit you better. If you want to strike a balance between interface and functionality, KeePassXC is the right choice. Currently, I am using KeePassXC.
