Password manager - EU made
Password manager - EU made
Hi. Any suggestions for password managers which are made and mantain in UE? Share your opinions.
keepassxc is based in germany, as it seems.
Here's a guide for it: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/03/18/installing-keepassxc-and-yubikey/
it's not that complicated.
Keepassxc. I'm a little skeptical to hosted solutions
You are not the only one
https://keepassxc.org/ is the only password manager I trust. It's fully offline and you can "host" your database wherever you want.
I know that Bitwarden is headquartered in California, but they do have Bitwarden.eu, which I would think is operating inside the EU?
I think a lot of people are concerned about situations like this: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27191500
Don't know about the EU, but this is the only one you'll ever need.
I tried it for some months but eventually switched to keepassXC
Feel free to crosspost to !buyeuropean@feddit.uk
I'm not sure if european, but I love the combo keepass+nextcloud (self hosted)
https://heylogin.app/pair Found this one and it is very simple to use and sync between pc and android. German made.
Not open source afaik
I'm quite confused in those keepass names. They aren't from one ecosystem?
In essence keepass is an open database format and a bunch of different software tools have been written to interact with it. You can quite happily share the same keepass database between different software, e.g. synced between desktop and mobile
There are multiple apps from various devs that all use the Keepass file format, so they are all compatible.
keepassxc is for desktop and keepassdx is for android and ios(?)
there is also keepass 2 but that has some vulnerabilities, as i understand
Keepassdx is sadly not on ios.
The only good one I've found is called strongbox. Free version works fine, but the pro version prices are insanity for something that is free everywhere else. I could get behind a lifetime buy of $10, but for $99 hell no. (Monthly sub is $3 or $25/year).
Looking at the app store now, most of the keepass apps have some form of in app purchace.
Only truly free one is call keepass touch, but frankly when I tired it, it sucked.
I think Clipperz is. Somebody please correct me if I’m wrong.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
keepassxc for GUI for CLI/TUI I like gopass but you have many many options, just search
If you ever want to self host ... psono is always an option, but it has a hairy setup.
if you ever want to self host ... vaultwarden is the opensource version of bitwarden
It looks nice, but it has no Passkey support, right?

You can set up your own MySQL instance with an encrypted database where you keep all passwords and joined information. Using any programming language you can either set up an app with a GUI yourself where you query your passwords or use queries directly in MySQL. I understand when you ask now for what all that hassle, but at least you have a bit more control of your data and there is not a potential company behind or a code fragment which may inform the company about any actions. BTW, you may learn some coding, so it can be fun too.
