We wrote up a blog post detailing our development and quality assurance workflow. We describe how new contributions are merged into the code base, and we address the change to our policy regarding AI-assisted code submissions and the concerns raised about it. https://keepassxc.org/blog/2025-11-09-about-keepassxcs-code-quality-control/
RE: https://fosstodon.org/@keepassxc/115520210801552443
am ghastly disappointed. i’ve used #KeePassXC since it forked from the original KeePass.
if you aren't developing the LLM itself and are not running it in your servers, then no, there is nothing transparent about using techbros AI. MS is shoving CoPilot everywhere, to not only take away users tech independence. “AI” chatbots are the perfect encryption backdoors fascists & kakistocrats have been asking for decades.
i use KPXC because i trust you. if you now trust MS, i can’t trust you anymore.
I want a girlfriend who stands by me the way #keepassXC team stands by the use of bullshit generators to develop a password manager

Heads-up: #KeepassXC has started using "AI" text extruders for their development process: https://www.reddit.com/r/KeePass/comments/1lnvw6q/comment/n0jg8ae/
"Machine that is very good at generating subtly wrong things that are hard to spot because they look right" is exactly what you don't want in security-critical software like a password manager.

I used to recommend @keepassxc to my friends and family, but if they're going to start using code generated by a plausibility engine then I will be looking for a new password manager that doesn't.
