💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, meet keepassxc — a modern open-source password manager. that's the whole vibe. your passwords? safe. your brain? uncluttered. periodt. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

keepassxc [options] [filename(s)]

like. it's giving "give me options, give me your database files, and I'll handle the rest". 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. KeePassXC is a free/open-source password manager — a safe, basically, and it helps you manage your passwords securely. Not me being obsessed with a piece of software but here we are. 💖

The complete database is always encrypted with the industry-standard AES (also known as Rijndael) encryption algorithm, using a 256-bit key. Iconic behavior honestly. And KeePassXC uses a database format that's compatible with KeePass Password Safe, so if you're migrating, you're fine, bestie. 🎀

Your database works offline and requires no internet connection. ✨ airplane mode queen. no cloud, no drama, no "we've updated our privacy policy". just you and your encrypted little vault. 🌸

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -h, --help — shows you this help. your little guide. 🫶
  • --help-all — shows help including Qt specific options. the deluxe version, if you will. 💅
  • -v, --version — spills the version information. yes ma'am. 🔥
  • --config <config> — path to a custom config file. for when you want your own setup, main character energy. 👑
  • --localconfig <localconfig> — path to a custom local config file. the local-est config. 🏠
  • --lock — locks all open databases. every single one. doors closed, lights off. 🔒
  • --keyfile <keyfile> — key file of the database. your extra lil key, iykyk. 🗝️
  • --pw-stdin — reads the password of the database from stdin. pipe it in, don't type it in. 🔥
  • --minimized — starts KeePassXC minimized to the system tray. so it's just… there. lurking. respectfully. 🙈
  • --debug-info — displays debugging information. for when something's weird and we need receipts. 💀
