How trusted are the iOS/Android app compared to the "mainstream" desktop clients like KeepassXC ? I'm a bit wary of downloading a "random client" from the App Store. Are those audited/trusted as much ?
- tinalumfoil 6y agoI've been using Keepass2Android [0] for a few years now (synced with the desktop client) and haven't had any issues. I'm not aware if any audits on it, but I'm not sure the risk of a developer pushing malicious binaries is that much higher on the play store than the arch/debian/snap/brew repositories.

- the_svd_doctor 6y agoI imagine those on iOS/Android are "complete" re-implementation of the client. Isn't that the case ?
- tinalumfoil 6y agoI've never contributed to it, but my understanding is KeepassXC is both a library and desktop client (and cli client, which I've never used) and that the app uses the library to manipulate the database. This piece of documentation seems to confirm this. https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android/blob/master/docs/Keepass2Android-Apk.md https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android/blob/master/docs...
