Keepass is a password manager that Cloud Cloud has been using. It is open source, full platform, free, and secure. That's why Cloud Cloud chose it.
Why choose keepass
There are many password managers, but why choose keepass?
First, keepass is free. It only provides software and no other services. For me, if I have to spend money, I would still like to, but if there is a better one that is free, I would prefer to choose the free one. Second, keepass security. So far, we have not heard that keepass itself has security problems. Even what we have heard before is that the computer itself is poisoned. If the system is poisoned, it is useless in the security password manager. Third, keepass is open source software. Of course, open source software is not an advantage, but the advantage is that even if the developer does not do it, others can do it, and the community support for open source software is good, and the ecology is good Fourth, keepass supports the whole platform. Of course, this is also the last reason. Keepass officially only supports Windows, but other developers have migrated to all platforms,win，mac，linux，Android，IOS，Blackberry, web, BSD, browser plug-in, etc Fifth, keepass is diligent in updating, which seems to be no advantage, but as a software that was born in 2003, it still keeps updating, and 18 years of waiting is worthy of admiration and trust.

The official website of keepassxc looks much better than keepassxc.
Since the laptop currently used by Cloud Cloud is a Linux system, it uses keepassxc instead of keepass. This is a derivative version of keepass software,Keepas can also be used in Linux, but it runs in mono mode, similar to an emulator. So Cloud Cloud uses KeePassXC, which means that using keepas does not necessarily mean using keepas, but using the whole ecosystem of keepas. Using keepasxc can also be considered as using keepas.
This is the opening interface of keepassxc. To be honest, keepassxc has a better appearance than keepass itself. After opening, there are new databases and open databases. The 1.0 version database does not need to be ignored. This is mainly a problem left over by history. Today's use usually starts with the 2.0 version. I have to complain about it,Keepass itself supports the network function, but keepassxc removes the network function and can only use local ones. If you use keepass flowers, you can also use ftp or the webdav function of Nut Cloud.
After opening the database, you need to enter the master password and key file. You can choose both, and you can choose only one. But it is emphasized here that the third one is generally not selected, which is prone to problems and does not support many. The first master password must be complex and not the same as other passwords, otherwise there will be endless problems.
The second key file can be any file. If you are not using multiple systems, you can select a file of the computer system, such as a small file of the Windows system. The Windows system runs from xp to 7 to 10. Some files have never changed, but cannot be transferred to Linux. Then enter the name of the password database, which is written casually. The encryption problem is generally OK by default, which is safe enough. This is the case when you enter the password manager software. There are menus on the top, classifications on the left, password items on the right, and previews on the bottom right. The software starts in English, but you can download itChinese Language Pack, and then switch to the view menu. If you need to add or modify the password, right click to modify it. The above interface is the modification interface. The new password can use the built-in password generator function, and you can set your own rules. Keepass supports import and export very well. Basically, password related software on the market can be imported and exported In terms of browser extension support, keepass support is also very good. "keepassxc has its own browser extension, and keepass needs software plug-ins and browser extensions." In fact, they are all the same Keepass also supports TOTP very well, which is very convenient for some websites that support TOTP
One difference between keepas and many other third-party derivatives is that keepas supports plug-in expansion, while other third parties basically do not support plug-ins. The main reason why keepas does not support plug-ins is to directly implement the most commonly used plug-in functions to the main program. For example, the cloud falls on the keepasxc used in this way. Native keepas need to be implemented with plug-ins.
Android KeePass2Android
The main derivative version of keepass in Android is KeePass2 Android, which is also an open source product. You can go toKeePass2Android Github homepageLook, this software is the main force of Cloud Cloud at present.
