In a context where cybersecurity is becoming a matter of key interest, we offer a rundown of the solutions compatible with Nextcloud.

Keepass

Keepass is an open source password vault with a long list of features whose effectiveness no longer needs to be proven. The files are stored in a database encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES-256, ChaCha20, and Twofish). For more information, see the features page.

Integrating your Keepass into Nextcloud can be done through Keeweb.
