KeeWeb is a browser and desktop password manager compatible with KeePass databases. Only kdbx (KeePass v2), not kdb (KeePass v1) is supported. You can use KeePass to convert between them.
The software is named KeeWeb because it’s built with web technologies.
The app conveniently remembers the recently used databases, you don’t need to select them manually.
