Who is KeePassXC best for?

Keeping passwords off the cloud
The vault is one encrypted file on your own disk, and you decide where, or whether, it syncs.
Hardware key users
YubiKey and OnlyKey challenge-response can protect the database, and it stores and generates TOTP codes.

A command-line tool, SSH agent integration and a FreeDesktop Secret Service replacement are built in.
Leaving another password manager
It imports from 1Password, Bitwarden, Proton Pass, CSV and KeePass 1 files.
