I’d also like to note that I drew some inspiration and methodology from Martin Shelton’s “KeePass for Beginners” post, which you may also find useful. If you spot any errors or have any suggestions for this post, feel free to contact me via Twitter or elsewhere. I’m not a security expert or security professional, just a social media editor who manages a lot of accounts, so buyer beware from this point on.

KeePassXC is a port of KeePassX, which in turn is a port of KeePass Password Safe. KeePassXC also has KeePassHTTP support for PassIFox in Mozilla Firefox, chromeIPass in Google Chrome or Chromium, and passafari in Safari. Other features include auto-type, Twofish encryption, YubiKey challenge-response, TOTP generation, CSV import, command-line interface, DEP and ASLR hardening, stand-alone password and passphrase generator, password strength meter, and more. You need to set a master password, something you won't forget or maybe have written down. They are easy to set up, but you can get lost in the options, including the expiration date, icons, properties, and more. Multiple databases are supported as well as multiple groupings within each database. On the first startup, you will need to create a database named whatever you like.
