This is very cool. After going from KeePassX to LastPass to 1Password, I'm back to using (mostly) KeePassX (and occasionally LastPass since $work has LastPass Enterprise). I would very much love to be able to host a private instance that everyone at $work can use and a private one that myself and my family (for example) can use.
Also, AgileBits has 80 employees now!? Wow, I guess that subscription model really is paying off for them. :/
Off-topic: The author, "jcs", is also an OpenBSD developer and the guy behind "Pushover" [0] ("receive unlimited push notifications on all of your devices") which is an awesome service some HN'ers might be interested in.
(No affiliation, just a very happy user.)
Edit: Somewhat related... for the LastPass users who are terminal junkies, like me, you might like "lastpass-cli" [0]. I actually use it in place of the LastPass browser extension, along with several shell aliases:
alias lp='lpass'
alias lpl='lpass login user@example.com'
alias lpls='lpass ls'
alias lppw='lpass show -G --password --clip'
alias lpsh='lpass show -G'
alias lpst='lpass status'

- _JamesA_ 9y agoThanks for the mention of Pushover [0]. I've been looking for a general notification API. I was going to use Slack but this is even better. Also the reference got re-used and overwritten for lastpass-cli. The corrected reference is below. [0]: https://pushover.net/ https://pushover.net/
- jlgaddis 9y agoOops, sorry! Thanks for posting the correct link.
- jstanley 9y agoYou might like pass: https://www.passwordstore.org/ https://www.passwordstore.org/ It uses git for storage so you can host a private instance as easily as you can host a git repo.
- jlgaddis 9y agoYes, I've seen it (every time we have a related thread here on HN) -- and about every other password manager out there. I like pass and the idea, but it just doesn't fit my use case. Thanks, though.
- smoyer 9y agoI'm a big fan ... you can sync between devices by encrypting everything with two or more keys and stashing the file in keybase.io.
- SquareWheel 9y agoYou may also want to try KeePassXC. An actively maintained port of KeePassX with some nice quality of life changes. I use it on both Windows and Linux, synced via Dropbox. https://keepassxc.org/ https://keepassxc.org/
- figurehe4d 9y agoI am an active XC user, been one for about a year, give or take. I like using it that I love that it's FLOSS, just waiting for the browser extension to usable. It'd be nice to have some way of easily syncing to my phone as well. Outside of that, great app.
- bgrohman 9y agoI switched from LastPass to KeePassXC, and I like that I don't have a browser extension anymore. It seems like many of the security vulnerabilities discovered in LastPass were in the browser extension. Plus, the stand-alone app is nice.
- SquareWheel 9y agoIt's the same database format, so regular KeePass mobile apps will work just as well if synced through Dropbox or similar. Personally I use Keepass2Android on Android. It's quick and has a nice interface. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=keepass2android.keepass2android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=keepass2androi...
- Improvotter 9y agoWhat are some uses of Pushover? I've been looking for a solution to "sync" my notifications between Linux, iOS, and macOS. Is this it?
- sqrt17 9y agoPushover is great for events that are delayed or infrequent - say you have a job running on an AWS server and want to be notified when there is a result, or you want some alert when your traffic reaches (say) 80% of the possible load. It's a cheap and easy service that you'd use anywhere where "then send an SMS" would be your reaction - it's like an SMS but without the cost and/or length restrictions
