## Key features

- **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.

## Good for

- KeePass users who want a modern desktop or browser interface
- People who want a free password manager with no account to create
- Users who keep their database in their own cloud storage or server

## Worth knowing

- There are no native iOS or Android apps; mobile browsers can view details and copy passwords only.
- Sync depends on your own Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or server storage; KeeWeb does not host vaults.
- No browser extension or autofill is listed on the site.
- It is a project with one named author and donation funding, not a company with paid support.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** KeeWeb is free, so making your own would save you nothing. And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.2 is higher than 43 of the 49 other password managers we grade.

- You could not: A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
