Keep KeePassium, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace KeePassium you would be making a password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $22.33 a year. KeePassium is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could not
- A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- Apps for macOS and iOS that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, KeePassXC, KeePass and Microsoft Intune among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. KeePassium’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is KeePassium?
KeePassium opens and edits KeePass database files on iOS and macOS, and you choose where the file is stored. It syncs with the cloud storage apps that appear in the Files app and fills passwords through AutoFill. The source code is public under the GPL v3, and the maker says an outside firm has audited it.
Worth knowing
- Apple platforms only: there is no Windows, Android or web version.
- The free version is limited to one database; YubiKey support and password audit need Premium or Pro.
- Prices on the maker's site are in euros; the US App Store listing shows Premium at $19.99.
- With Intune, Password AutoFill is not supported, and the managed edition runs on iOS only.
Key features
- KeePass database support
- Reads kdb, kdbx3 and kdbx4 files using AES, ChaCha20, Twofish and Argon2, so databases move between KeePass apps.
- Sync with your own storage
- Works with offline files and with online databases, including two-way sync with almost any provider in the Files app.
- AutoFill and biometrics
- Fill logins in apps and websites with Password AutoFill, and unlock with Face ID or Touch ID.
- OTP codes and attachments
- Keeps time-based one-time codes, custom fields, custom icons and attached files inside the database.
- YubiKey support
- Premium can protect a database with a YubiKey over NFC or Lightning, using challenge-response that matches KeePassXC.
- Backups and history
- Each entry keeps its history, deleted entries go to a recycle bin, and each database is copied before saving.
