Where does KeePass keep its database?

Question

Configuration files are stored in INI format. Configuration files are stored in XML format. On Linux systems, the local configuration file is typically stored in '$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/KeePass' (which often is '~/. config/KeePass', where '~' is the user's home directory).

What database does KeePass use?

KeePass uses the common CSV export format of various passwords safes like Password Keeper and Password Agent. Exports from these programs can be easily imported to your KeePass databases.

Does KeePass store in the cloud?

Our first tip is to use the popular KeePass password manager—it's free! Next, sync your password database to the cloud. This allows you to keep multiple copies of it—on more than one of your own devices, for example, or on multiple team members' devices—while still ensuring that it stays up to date.

Are KeePass databases safe?

KeePass database files are encrypted. KeePass encrypts the whole database, i.e. not only your passwords, but also your user names, URLs, notes, etc.

Can you move KeePass from one computer to another?

The database consists of only one file, so it can be transferred easily from one computer to another.
