KeePass Password Safe is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0, granting freedoms to run, study, redistribute, and modify the software provided derivative works remain GPLv2-compatible. Commercial redistribution is allowed when you comply with source-offer requirements - consult your counsel before embedding KeePass in a proprietary appliance.
KeePass does not require a vendor cloud. You choose where ciphertext lives - local disk, SMB share, WebDAV, SFTP via IOProtocolExt, or proprietary APIs via plugins like KeeAnywhere. Each additional surface area expands your threat model; document data residency accordingly.
Treat plugins like privileged software packages. Verify publisher identity, compare SHA-256 digests, read source when available, and pilot in isolated VMs. The official catalog on keepass.info groups plugins by function - backup, sync, OTP - so security architects can map controls faster.
Yes. Built-in importers cover many CSV/XML flows, while plugins extend coverage - for example 1P2KeePass, OneVault, and KeePassBrowserImporter. KeePass 2.x also ships modules for modern 1Password exports; always review import logs for skipped fields.
Heuristic scanners sometimes flag credential managers due to keyboard automation and packed executables. Validate signatures, follow the antivirus guide, and involve your endpoint vendor before blocking enterprise-wide.
No. This site is not run by Dominik Reichl. For authoritative guidance, use keepass.info and the official discussion forums before making security decisions.
KeePass is a general-purpose vault. Legal compliance depends on jurisdiction, authorization letters, and customer contracts - not the tool itself. See legal usage on Trust & Security for ethical framing.
Capture SHA-256 output, OpenPGP verification logs, file paths, and release URLs in your change-management system. See hashes and signatures on the Download page for a practical checklist.
