For handoffs with a record, or collecting credentials, add [CredenShare](/compare).\n\n*Who this page is for: people choosing between a cloud and a local open-source password manager.*\n\n## Bitwarden vs KeePass at a glance\n\n| | Bitwarden | KeePass |\n|---|---|---|\n| **Price** | Free; Premium $1.65/month; Families $3.99/month (6); Teams $4/user/month; Enterprise $6/user/month; billed yearly | Free |\n| **Where data lives** | Bitwarden cloud, or your own server | A local KDBX file on your storage |\n| **Encryption** | AES-CBC-256 with HMAC; PBKDF2 (600,000) or Argon2id | AES-256 or ChaCha20; AES-KDF or Argon2; HMAC-SHA-256 |\n| **Open source** | Yes | Yes (GPL) |\n| **Audits** | Annual audits; Cure53 (2025); SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 | EU-FOSSA audit; BSI code analysis; ANSSI CSPN |\n| **Sync** | Built in | None built in; you sync the file yourself |\n| **Sharing** | Organizations and collections; Send | One shared database file with one master key; KeePassXC KeeShare |\n| **Business administration** | SSO, SCIM, policies, event logs (Teams/Enterprise) | None |\n| **Official apps** | Desktop, mobile, browser extensions, CLI | KeePass: Windows (Mono elsewhere); KeePassXC: Windows, macOS, Linux; mobile via third-party apps |\n\n*Checked on October 23, 2026 against each vendor's own pages; see the sources below.*\n\n## Is KeePass more secure than Bitwarden?\n\nBoth are open source and independently reviewed. **KeePass** never touches a server: your encrypted file stays on your storage, which removes cloud risk but puts backup and syncing on you. **Bitwarden** encrypts on your device before syncing (AES-CBC-256 with HMAC, Argon2id available), runs annual third-party audits, and holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. The choice is mostly about where you want the encrypted data to live.\n\n## Which is easier to use?\n\nBitwarden syncs automatically across devices and browsers. KeePass needs you to sync the database file yourself, and on mobile you use third-party apps (KeePassXC's FAQ points to KeePassDX, KeePass2Android, Strongbox and KeePassium).\n\n## Which is better for teams?\n\nBitwarden: organizations, collections with permissions, SCIM, SSO (Enterprise), policies and event logs. KeePass: several people can open one database file, all with the same master key; \"There are no per-group or per-entry access control lists\".\n\n## How do they share with people outside?\n\n- **Bitwarden Send:** text or files, up to 31 days, with an optional password and view limit.\n- **KeePass:** no way to share a single entry outside; KeePassXC's KeeShare synchronises groups between databases.\n\n## Which should you pick? Scenarios\n\n| Your situation | Better fit | Why |\n|---|---|---|\n| You want nothing in the cloud | KeePass or KeePassXC | A local file. |\n| A team with different access levels | Bitwarden | Collections with permissions. |\n| Sync across phone and laptop without effort | Bitwarden | Built-in sync. |\n| Self-hosting for a company | Bitwarden | Official self-hosting. |\n| A single user, offline, at no cost | KeePass | Free and local. |\n\n## What neither Bitwarden nor KeePass does\n\nBoth are built around **your** vault. How each reaches people outside it:\n\n- **Bitwarden:** Bitwarden Send, text or files, up to 31 days.\n- **KeePass:** no sharing service; share the whole database file, or KeePassXC KeeShare groups.\n\nAt the edge of the vault, three needs keep coming up that neither covers on its own pages:\n\n1. **Collecting a credential from someone outside.** A client's hosting login or a vendor's API key: there's no request form, so it usually arrives by email or chat.\n2. **Proof that an outside handoff arrived.** Their logs track your organization; a per-link record of who opened a share, when and from where, isn't described.\n3. **Handoffs on the recipient's schedule.** Links that last longer, or start counting at the first open.\n\n[CredenShare](/compare) is built for that edge, and works with either:\n\n- **Secure Requests** (Business and Enterprise): send a form with the fields you need; each answer is encrypted in the sender's browser.\n- **Access logs** for every share: views, times and IP addresses, kept 3 to 180 days by plan.\n- **Expiry from 1 hour to 3 months**, optionally from the first open, plus passcodes and view limits.\n- **Slack, a browser extension, a REST API, SDKs and an MCP server** for AI agents.\n\nShares made in the web app, API and SDKs are encrypted in your browser or client; Slack-created shares are encrypted on our servers. Only the people who create shares and requests need a CredenShare seat.\n\n## Before you share a credential: a checklist\n\nThese apply whichever tool you use.\n\n1. **Send the link and the passcode through different channels.** For example, the link by email and the passcode by text message.\n2. **Watch out for link scanners.** Some email security filters and chat apps open links automatically, which can use up a one-view link. Send the link as plain text through a channel that doesn't pre-open links, or allow a second view with a short expiry.\n3. **Don't open the link to test it.** On a one-view link, your test is the view.\n4. **Pick the shortest expiry that works.** If you don't know when the recipient will act, a link that starts counting at the first open is safer than a long fixed window.\n5. **Rotate after the handoff when you can.** The link expires, but the credential is still valid.\n6. **Keep the original in your password manager.** A sharing link is a delivery method, not storage.\n\n## Verdict: Bitwarden or KeePass?\n\n- **Pick Bitwarden** for sync, team sharing and administration.\n- **Pick KeePass** for a fully offline vault you control.\n\nWhichever you choose, cover the outside handoffs neither is built for.\n\n**Related:** [CredenShare vs KeePass](/compare/keepass) · [Bitwarden vs Vaultwarden](/compare/bitwarden-vs-vaultwarden) · [CredenShare vs Bitwarden](/compare/bitwarden)\n\n---\n\n**Sources** (checked October 23, 2026):\n\n- **Bitwarden:** [pricing](https://bitwarden.com/pricing/), [security white paper](https://bitwarden.com/help/bitwarden-security-white-paper/), [KDF](https://bitwarden.com/help/kdf-algorithms/), [compliance](https://bitwarden.com/compliance/), [self-hosting](https://bitwarden.com/help/self-host-an-organization/), [SSO](https://bitwarden.com/help/about-sso/), [Send](https://bitwarden.com/help/about-send/)\n- **KeePass:** [security](https://keepass.info/help/base/security.html), [multi-user](https://keepass.info/help/base/multiuser.html), [ratings](https://keepass.info/ratings.html); **KeePassXC:** [home](https://keepassxc.org/), [docs](https://keepassxc.org/docs/)\n\n*Bitwarden, KeePass are trademarks of their respective owners.
