Vaultwarden is a Rust server that reimplements the Bitwarden Client API as an alternative to the official service, and it works with the official Bitwarden clients. It was formerly known as bitwarden_rs and is released under the AGPL-3.0 license. It is aimed at people who self-host and find the official server too heavy to run themselves.

The project implements most of the Bitwarden Client API, including personal vaults, Send, attachments, website icons and personal API keys, as well as organizations, with collections, shared passwords, member roles, groups, event logs and policies. Multi-factor authentication covers authenticator apps, email, FIDO2 WebAuthn, YubiKey and Duo, and emergency access is supported. An admin backend and a modified web vault client are included.

Vaultwarden is distributed as a Docker image and the code is on GitHub. The project is unofficial, and its maintainers ask users to report problems to them rather than to Bitwarden's official support channels. It suits individuals, families and small teams who want to host their own password manager while keeping the familiar Bitwarden apps and browser extensions.

Key features

  • Bitwarden Client API-compatible server
  • Works with official Bitwarden clients
  • Organizations with collections and member roles
  • Multi-factor authentication including FIDO2 and YubiKey
  • Emergency access and Send support
  • Admin backend for server management

Pricing: Free and open source under the AGPL-3.0 license.

KeePassXC is a modern, open-source password manager for Windows, macOS and Linux. It began as a community port of the Windows program KeePass Password Safe and is aimed at people with demanding requirements for managing sensitive personal data securely.

It stores usernames, passwords, URLs, attachments and notes in an encrypted file that works offline and can live anywhere, including private or public cloud storage that you sync yourself. Entries have custom titles and icons and are sorted into customizable groups, and a search function supports advanced patterns. A built-in password generator can create strings with any mix of characters or easy-to-remember passphrases, and topics mention YubiKey support.

The app is written in C++ and has a quick-start guide plus pre-compiled binaries on the downloads page. Its license is listed as 'Other' on GitHub, so confirm the terms for your use. Because there is no vendor account or server, it is a good fit for users who want local control of their password database instead of a hosted password service.

Key features

  • Encrypted offline password database
  • Windows, macOS and Linux apps
  • Groups, custom icons and attachments
  • Advanced search patterns
  • Password and passphrase generator
  • Hardware key support with YubiKey

This repository holds the client applications of Bitwarden, the password manager, except for the mobile apps. It contains the web app, the browser extension, the desktop application and the command-line tool, which together are the interfaces people use to store and fill in their credentials.

The code is written mostly in TypeScript, with Angular for the web interfaces, Electron for the desktop app and Node.js for the CLI. Browser extensions cover Chrome, Firefox and Safari. The clients talk to the Bitwarden server, which lives in a separate repository and covers the API, database and Docker deployment, while the iOS and Android apps each have their own repositories.

The repository is published under a custom Bitwarden license rather than a standard SPDX identifier. Contribution guidance, build instructions and recommended tooling are kept in Bitwarden's contributing documentation, and the project welcomes security audits and reports through its issue tracker or private email for sensitive findings.

Key features

  • Web vault client for Bitwarden
  • Browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Safari
  • Electron-based desktop application
  • Command-line client for scripting access
  • TypeScript and Angular codebase

Pricing: A free personal plan exists. Premium is $1.65 a month, Families $3.99 a month for six users, Teams $4 and Enterprise $6 per user per month, all billed annually.

KeePassDX is a password safe for Android that edits encrypted data kept in a single file in KeePass format and fills in forms securely. It is a local manager, so your credentials live in a database locked with a master key, a keyfile or both, and you only need to remember one master password.

Features include passkeys for authentication with local storage of private keys, biometric unlocking, one-time password management for HOTP and TOTP, autofill, a Magikeyboard for entering fields, creation of encrypted database files, entries organized in group trees, dynamic templates, entry history and Material Design themes. It supports kdb and kdbx files, versions 1 to 4, with AES, Twofish, ChaCha20 and Argon2, and is compatible with KeePass, KeePassXC and KeeWeb.

KeePassDX is described as open source and ad-free, written natively in Kotlin, Java, JNI and C, and licensed under GPL-3.0. Because the file is yours, you choose how to sync it between devices. It suits Android users who want a private password manager that stays interoperable with desktop KeePass tools.

Key features

  • KeePass kdb and kdbx database support
  • Passkey storage and authentication
  • Biometric unlock with fingerprint or face
  • HOTP and TOTP one-time passwords
  • Autofill and Magikeyboard input
  • Entry groups, templates and history
  • Compatible with KeePass and KeePassXC

Pricing: Free and open source under the GPL-3.0 licence, described as ad-free.

Keepass2Android is a password manager app for Android that reads the same database format as KeePass 2.x, the well-known Windows password safe. You keep your credentials in an encrypted database file that you control, instead of handing them to a vendor-run service, and open it on your phone with the app.

The project aims at simple synchronization between devices, so a database edited on a desktop KeePass client can be used on Android and vice versa. It is built on the .NET stack and distributed through the Google Play Store, where it is published by an individual developer. Its repository tags it with the keepass and password-manager topics.

Keepass2Android is licensed under GPL-3.0. Because the database is a file you hold yourself, it fits people who already use KeePass on other platforms or who want a password manager without a hosted account. There is no vendor-operated cloud service for it.

Key features

  • Opens KeePass 2.x password databases
  • Designed for syncing databases between devices
  • Native Android app built on .NET
  • Compatible with desktop KeePass clients
  • Encrypted local password storage
  • Distributed through Google Play

Pricing: Free and open source under GPL-3.0.

AliasVault is a privacy-focused password manager that also creates unique identities and random email aliases for each website you sign up to. Data is end-to-end encrypted, and the product includes its own email server with no third-party dependencies. It is released under the AGPL-3.0 license and describes itself as an independent, community-driven alternative to closed-source password managers.

You can use it as a responsive web app, through browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari, and with native iOS and Android apps. The technology list includes Argon2id key derivation, the SRP authentication protocol, and a .NET Blazor client using WebAssembly, with a React front end for some parts.

The official cloud version runs at app.aliasvault.com, and self-hosting is supported with Docker on a 64-bit Linux server, with modest requirements of one vCPU, 1 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of disk. It suits privacy-conscious individuals and small teams who want to reduce tracking and spam by giving every site a separate email address.

Key features

  • End-to-end encrypted password vault
  • Random email aliases for every website
  • Built-in email server for receiving alias mail
  • Browser extensions for major browsers
  • Native iOS and Android apps

AuthPass is an open-source password manager built with Flutter that runs on mobile, desktop, and the web. It is compatible with KeePass 2.x databases in both KDBX 3 and KDBX 4 formats, so you can open existing KeePass files and keep control of the file where your credentials are stored. It is released under the GPL-3.0 license.

Apps are distributed through the Mac App Store, Google Play, the iOS App Store, the Snap Store and Flathub for Linux, and the Microsoft Store for Windows, and there is also a browser version. The project invites contributions such as translations, documentation, reviews, and code, and uses a forum and Discord channel for coordination.

Since it relies on the KDBX file format rather than a proprietary vault, AuthPass suits people who want a cross-platform KeePass-compatible client with a modern interface. It is a client application, so there is no central server to host.

Key features

  • KeePass 2.x KDBX 3 and KDBX 4 compatibility
  • Apps for iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux
  • Browser-based version
  • Cross-platform Flutter codebase

KeeWeb is a password manager that runs in a web browser or as a desktop application and works with kdbx database files created by KeePass, KeePassXC, and other compatible tools. You can open existing vaults or create new ones to store credentials. It supports Linux, Windows, and macOS and is built on Electron and JavaScript. The input lists its license only as other.

The README includes a thorough self-hosting guide using Docker and Docker Compose, with Traefik integration covering labels, dynamic and static configuration, certificate resolvers, entry points, a Cloudflare variant, and an Authentik integration. Other sections cover environment variables, volumes, Dropbox support, and building from source on each platform using Grunt or npm.

Because vault files stay in the standard kdbx format, users are not locked into the app. KeeWeb suits individuals and teams that already use KeePass and want a friendlier interface, or who want to host a web-based vault viewer on their own domain.

Key features

  • Opens and creates KeePass kdbx databases
  • Browser and desktop versions
  • Windows, macOS, and Linux support
  • Docker and Traefik self-hosting guides
  • Dropbox sync support
  • Build-from-source instructions

Pricing: Free to use; see the repository for license terms.

This repository contains the source code for the Proton Pass Android application. Proton Pass is a password manager from Proton, and the app is published on Google Play, with the code opened under the GPL so that users and researchers can inspect how it works.

The topics highlight end-to-end encryption, and the app is used together with a Proton account and Proton's hosted service rather than a server you run yourself. The repository documents how to build the app locally in BUILD.md and how to contribute in CONTRIBUTING.md, and invites help with translations through a blog post.

The code and data files are licensed under version 3 or later of the GNU General Public License. The app is written in Kotlin for Android, and because it is the client side of a hosted product, it is mostly relevant to people who want to audit, build or contribute to the Android client.

Key features

  • Android password manager client
  • End-to-end encryption
  • Open-source Kotlin codebase
  • Local build instructions
  • Community translation program
