KeeWeb is a free and open-source password manager compatible with KeePass, available as a web version and desktop apps. The underlying file format is KDBX (KeePass database file).[1] KeeWeb was praised by Ghacks Technology News in 2016 as "brand-new" fixing the "shortcoming of a web-based version" of KeePass, and by Tech Advisor in 2020 as "well-designed cross-platform password manager".[2][3]

It is written in JavaScript and makes use of WebCrypto and WebAssembly to work with password files directly in browser, without uploading them to a server. It can synchronize files with popular file hosting services, such as Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive.[4]

The same JavaScript code is also packaged as desktop apps built with Electron. The desktop version adds some features not available on web:[5]

  • auto-typing passwords
  • ability to open and save local files
  • sync to WebDAV without CORS enabled

KeeWeb can also be deployed as a standalone server, or installed as a Nextcloud app.[6]
