KeePassXC uses the KeePass 2.x (.kdbx) password database format natively.^[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 mentions KeePassXC as "easy-to-use [and] robust software".^[8] A security review of KeePassXC version 2.7.4 was completed in late 2022.^[9]

An accompanying browser extension^[10] is 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]
