How secure is KeePass?
It's secure. The kdbx file is encrypted via AES (by default), which is an encryption standard that has been heavily reviewed by encryption specialists around the world. The biggest security risk is you using a short/weak/guessable password, or as noted in xkcd #538 , you are the weakest link in the chain. More on reddit.com

r/KeePass on Reddit: How secure is KeePass?
June 13, 2024 -

Hello guys, I'm new here and I have some questions:

Recently, I decided to get into password managers, more specifically, KeePassXC. Since then, some doubts have arisen.

Before presenting my doubts, I want to create a hypothetical scenario in which the machine is invaded, and that the attacker somehow has access to it. I know KeePass has a password before you can run it, but I wonder this:

  1. In the imagined scenario, would the attacker be able to somehow circumvent the password I registered (without it being captured by a keylogger)?

  2. Can the file containing the passwords, which ends in ".kdbx", be accessed in any way that allows the attacker to see the saved passwords?

  3. Is it safe to allocate all my passwords, and whenever I want to log in somewhere, copy them from the program and paste them into the field that requires the password?

  4. Is it safer to use a Passkey to log into KeePass than a normal password?

Thank you to everyone who is willing to help me!

Regarding points 1 and 2, I think a key takeaway is that just bc you store things in a password manager (KP or even online ones) doesn't mean you can get away with neglecting overall security. For example, if you're infected with a keylogger or ram sniffer then even logging in on an online service isn't totally safe. But the flip side of this that there are things you can do outside of KPXC to improve security and mitigate risks too. I'm on Linux and some things I do to mitigate other risks: Prefer software from central repositories (generally much safer and better vetted than the Windows model of downloading random things off the web) and when I need things from outside of there, I prefer things that are open-source and that I can find decent recommendations on. I run most Internet-capable apps inside a security sandbox which isolates the degree to which they can interact with the system and restricts access to a few specific folders. Additionally, I always have Unblock Origin setup in my browsers and configured to block known malware domains. I don't know if Windows / Mac have anything similar to these security sandboxes but on Linux, you can either lookup firejail or bubblewrap. There's also a package format called flatpaks that use bubblewrap under the hood. I configure system DNS to use the cloudflare no-malware dns aka 1.1.1.2 / 1.0.0.2 I encrypt my hard drives using LUKS so if someone physically broke in and stole my pc, they'd need to brute force the full disk encryption and then find my KPXC database before they could start trying to brute force that. For 3, the app has settings for clearing clipboard after a time if you want to go that route. But IMHO the better approach is to set up browser integration and let it hand-off directly to the KPXC browser extension. It's likely safer since there's nothing stored on the keyboard and it's definitely more convenient.
