KeePassXC keyfile function

Privacy Questions

Hi everyone,

I’m currently using Strongbox for password management and considering switching to KeePassXC after reading
this topic

One feature I find very useful in Strongbox is the ability to use a keyfile in conjunction with a password to open my database.

Can anyone confirm if KeePassXC has a similar keyfile function? If so, how can I set it up?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, check KeePassXC: User Guide and search for keyword “key file”.

I am using KeePassXC in Windows and there is a “I have a keyfile” button next to the password box, and you can use KeePassXC to replace your 2FA authenticator app too, it is not very user friendly to set up but I finally managed to make it work, the advantage is that you don´t need any 2FA cloud account anywhere and it works in your desktop computer without needing a smartphone.

For password auto filling there is a browser extension in the Chrome store and you must connect it to the database.
