Hi. Any suggestions for password managers which are made and mantain in UE? Share your opinions.
keepassxc is based in germany, as it seems.
Here’s a guide for it: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/03/18/installing-keepassxc-and-yubikey/
it’s not that complicated.
Keepassxc. I’m a little skeptical to hosted solutions
You are not the only one
I know that Bitwarden is headquartered in California, but they do have Bitwarden.eu, which I would think is operating inside the EU?
Even better, self-host Vaultwarden !
- Works everywhere (android, iOS, linux, windows, macOS…)
- TOTP
- Works without connection and if the instance is offline.
- Add notes, customize URI…
- password/username/passphrase generator
- …
A lot more to it :)
I think a lot of people are concerned about situations like this: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27191500

agreed, if I didn’t trust the encryption, I would not use it. I am fine with bitwarden hosting my encrypted passwords, the store is accessible locally on each device, and I can self host with vaultwarden if bitwarden pull the free service. The features in bitwarden are good and sufficient, less awkward than alternatives I have tried.

Don’t know about the EU, but this is the only one you’ll ever need.

If you don’t use pass, you should probably hate yourself.

I tried it for some months but eventually switched to keepassXC
I’m not sure if european, but I love the combo keepass+nextcloud (self hosted)
I’m quite confused in those keepass names. They aren’t from one ecosystem?
In essence keepass is an open database format and a bunch of different software tools have been written to interact with it. You can quite happily share the same keepass database between different software, e.g. synced between desktop and mobile
There are multiple apps from various devs that all use the Keepass file format, so they are all compatible.
keepassxc is for desktop and keepassdx is for android and ios(?)
there is also keepass 2 but that has some vulnerabilities, as i understand

keepassxc for GUI for CLI/TUI I like gopass but you have many many options, just search
https://heylogin.app/pair Found this one and it is very simple to use and sync between pc and android. German made.
You can set up your own MySQL instance with an encrypted database where you keep all passwords and joined information. Using any programming language you can either set up an app with a GUI yourself where you query your passwords or use queries directly in MySQL. I understand when you ask now for what all that hassle, but at least you have a bit more control of your data and there is not a potential company behind or a code fragment which may inform the company about any actions. BTW, you may learn some coding, so it can be fun too.
If you ever want to self host … psono is always an option, but it has a hairy setup.
if you ever want to self host … vaultwarden is the opensource version of bitwarden
