CS10 Password Managers

Unlike Lastpass, KeepassXC doesn’t store your password database online. It’s up to you to keep the password database safe.

 

This means that if you lose your password database, your passwords could be gone forever.

 

We’ll find some safe ways of storing your password database later. In the meantime, let’s get to work on creating it.

 

Here is the link to download KeepassXC. If you’re on your own computer, then click that link and download it.
