Hi. Any suggestions for password managers which are made and mantain in UE? Share your opinions.
keepassxc for GUI for CLI/TUI I like gopass but you have many many options, just search
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?
Even better, self-host Vaultwarden !
- Works everywhere (android, iOS, linux, windows, macOS…)
- TOTP
- Works without connection and if the instance is offline.
- Add notes, customize URI…
- password/username/passphrase generator
- …
A lot more to it :)
I think a lot of people are concerned about situations like this: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27191500
Bitwarden doesn’t have access to your data. This isn’t an issue. This is just jingoism because the best way to fight an absurd nationalist asshole is more nationalism
As someone posted above, someone obtaining access to your encrypted data might lead to an issue in the future:
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
https://heylogin.app/pair Found this one and it is very simple to use and sync between pc and android. German made.
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
keepassxc is for desktop and keepassdx is for android and ios(?)
there is also keepass 2 but that has some vulnerabilities, as i understand
There are multiple apps from various devs that all use the Keepass file format, so they are all compatible.
The tldr is if you’re on windows, use keepass base. It has every feature anyone would want and plugins for the rest. It’s basically perfect.
If you’re not on windows, keepass xc is great, but Id think of it as like keepass’ most used features, but less customizable and less absurdly complete.
Android has several the one I use is from fdroid and it’s offline-only. Several out there have sync systems, but I use syncthing.
I’m not sure if european, but I love the combo keepass+nextcloud (self hosted)
Don’t know about the EU, but this is the only one you’ll ever need.
What if you don’t hate yourself?
If you don’t use pass, you should probably hate yourself.
Have you tried running that on your Android?
Why would you carry around your secure password vault in your pocket? #thatsjustdumb
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.
If you are talking about online services, Proton is a Swiss option and for what it’s worth, Bitwarden offers an EU instance. Both are freemium OSS. You could also self-host Bitwarden. If you are looking for offline options, there are plenty. KeePass2 comes to mind.
Thanks. I’m looking something which can be used on android + windows. I was using Proton apps from years and I don’t like them anymore; there’s little I can do as free user. I’m testing KeePassDX, don’t know is it good.
I use the regular KeePass 2 and love it. It looks a bit oldfashioned but is a very powerful tool once you get used to it a bit. As there are plenty of addons you can also easily extend the standard feature set with further options.
i use KeepassDX. its amazing and simple and I absolutely adore it.
its going to be my password manager of choice going forward. i was able to set up my fingerprint unlocking as well. very convenient.
highly recommend it.
Hi. I’m testing keepassdx. I found something odd. Autofill seems doesn’t work because I need to search desired data in password base. Do you experienced something similiar?
Keepassxc. I’m a little skeptical to hosted solutions
You are not the only one

I think Clipperz is. Somebody please correct me if I’m wrong.
