Key features
KeePassDX
- Local KeePass database
- Opens .kdb and .kdbx files (versions 1 to 4) using AES, Twofish, ChaCha20 and Argon2, so it works with KeePass and KeePassXC files.
- Passkeys and one-time codes
- Stores passkeys and private keys in the vault and generates HOTP and TOTP codes for two-factor logins.
- Autofill and Magikeyboard
- Fills forms through Android autofill, or through a built-in keyboard that types entries into any field.
- Biometric unlock
- Unlock the database with fingerprint or face recognition instead of typing the master key every time.
- Works offline
- No internet connection is required. You choose where the database file is stored and backed up.
- Password generator and attachments
- Creates passwords and keeps file attachments inside the encrypted database, with custom icons for entries.
KeeWeb
- KeePass file compatibility
- Works with KeePass databases, so a vault can be opened here and in other KeePass-compatible apps.
- Cloud and server sync
- Opens files from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or your own server and syncs changes across devices automatically.
- Offline access
- Files are saved for offline use, including ones opened from Dropbox, and changes sync when the connection returns.
- Multiple files and one search
- Open several database files at once and search all entries from a single box, with regular-expression and field filters.
- History and tags
- Every change goes into entry history that can be rolled back, and entries can be organized with tags and color marks.
- Protected fields and password generator
- Fields can be hidden and are held in memory in a more protected way; the generator takes any length and symbol set.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
