Password Managers
Best Privacy-Focused Password Managers
(2025)
KeePass
KeePass is a secure & customizable password manager, but it requires work to function as conveniently as some users may expect. We have recommended clients below to make the experience as smooth as possible.
KeePassXC (client)
KeePassXC is a modern, secure, & customizable KeePass client available on all major desktop operating systems with active development.
KeePassDX (client)
KeePassDX is a KeePass client for Android available on F-Droid and the Google Play Store with a modern interface, active development, and strong trust in the community.
Strongbox (client)
Strongbox is a beautiful KeePass client that integrates well with iOS & MacOS devices, even offering the option for E2EE syncing via iCloud. They also now use a local network sync to avoid the cloud altogether. Warning: They were recently acquired by Applause and we have yet to see the impact on Strongbox.
KeePassium (client)
KeePassium combines the security of KeePass with a clean intuitive design for iOS & MacOS. Since Strongbox's acquisition, many are migrating to KeePassium.
Proton Pass
Proton Pass is a secure password manager integrated with the Proton ecosystem with an emphasis on a simple user experience. Its built-in email aliasing is an attractive feature, along with its UI/UX.
Bitwarden
Bitwarden is a trusted, cloud-based option with zero-knowledge encryption to keep you safe. They offer an attractive experience for password management, with the option for self-hosting.
1Password
1Password is an option for users who aren't happy with other offerings. It is similar to most 'mainstream' cloud-based managers, while having an excellent privacy & security record.
