KeePass for Mac

Product snapshot

KeePass is an open-source, no-cost password manager designed to reduce the need to remember many distinct login secrets. It keeps all credentials in a single vault so you can manage accounts from one place without juggling multiple passwords.

Alternative recommendation

• AppLocker (password-locking apps) — available for free and often suggested as an alternative.

Core capabilities

• Vault access is protected by a master password or by using a key file, preventing unauthorized entry.
• All credentials are stored in one central database for straightforward management.
• Credentials can be retrieved quickly with minimal steps when you need them.
• The software can be downloaded and used at no charge.

Security, mobility and data handling

KeePass combines strong cryptographic primitives (for example, AES together with SHA-256 hashing) to safeguard the password database and reduce the risk of compromise.

• The program can be run without a typical installation and transported on removable media such as a USB drive.
• Export options include .CSV, .XML, and .TXT formats for interoperability with other tools.
• Entries may be organized into custom groups or categories for easier browsing and sorting.
