KeePassDX: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

KeePassDX is a password and passkey manager for Android that stores credentials in encrypted database files compatible with the KeePass format. It offers autofill, biometric unlock and one-time password support. It is an alternative to vendor-hosted password vaults for users who prefer to keep their encrypted database as a file under their own control. The app is distributed through app stores and F-Droid and is developed by Kunzisoft, a company in France.

The source code is published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 licence, or any later version, so organisations can inspect and build the app themselves. The project describes KeePassDX as a local manager of encrypted database files. For a European organisation the main question is therefore where the database file is stored and how it is synchronised, rather than the jurisdiction of a service provider.

Why digital sovereignty matters with KeePassDX

KeePassDX is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so KeePassDX scores best on data residency.

KeePassDX is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs KeePassDX together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
