A group of engineers has forked KeePassXC to create KeePassχ, citing concerns over KeePassXC's adoption of LLM policies and aiming for a simpler, more stable password manager focused on security. The fork is based on KeePassXC 2.7.10 and plans its first release by May 2026. The project emphasizes trustworthiness and minimalism over excessive features or contributors.
Background
KeePassXC is a popular open-source password manager, and forks often arise due to disagreements over development direction or policies.
