If you are running Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 or 10, then this will be smooth sailing. Your first step is a visit to the KeePass downloads page (opens in new tab).

Google Chrome was my primary browser across all platforms but testing on macOS and iOS was also done with Safari. Browser extension plug-ins are available for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple Safari and Opera.įor this review, I used KeePass on a 2017 MacBook Pro 15 running Windows 10 and macOS 10.14 Mojave, an iPhone 7 Plus, and a Google Pixel 3. However, if you visit the downloads page for KeePass you will see more than 30 additional versions of KeePass that extend support to Android, iOS, Blackberry, Chrome OS, PocketPC, J2ME and browser-based solutions. KeePass 2.x officially supports Windows Vista and later, macOS and Linux. KeePass also still develops the '1.x' version, which is simpler, Windows-only and uses a different codebase. I tested the '2.x' version of KeePass, which has a rich set of features and can be installed on platforms beyond Windows. To unlock the full power of KeePass, you really need to install plugins and extensions. The core KeePass desktop application supports password generation and management, syncing via local hard disks or network shares, auto-type form-filling and auto-type hot-key form filling. That includes finding an online storage solution, such as Dropbox or Google Drive, to host your password database if you want to sync your KeePass vault between your devices using the internet.
