Having access to that store on multiple computers and mobile devices is definitely a useful feature.
Set a super long generated password on your bank account and then need to log in on your phone? That's a pain if you're just using KeepPass on your desktop.
That said using an encrypted storage file and an existing file sync service (Dropbox, Box.net, Onedrive, GDrive) and a client that supports using such a file would solve the problem, and I think 1Password at least supports this.
- smeyer 7y agoI use Keepass. Like you said, I sync the encrypted storage file through an existing file sync service and use a keepass client on my phone. It's slightly clunkier than I imagine a well-built system designed for multiple devices would be, but it works fine.
- danesparza 7y agoI use this exact setup. It's simple, inexpensive and certainly as secure as any paid offering.
- agentwiggles 7y agoI switched from Keepass to 1Password recently and couldn't be happier with the decision. I think I could have dealt with Keepass forever if it was just me - but my non technical partner needs access to the family passwords and accounts too. Using 1Password has been a huge boost in my password management because my partner just didn't want to use Keepass and so would just use her default username and password when signing up for new stuff. Now it's so easy that she's 100% on board, and I have to say that the ease of use for 1Password vs Keepass feels well worth the money.
