KeepassXC is the perfect solution in my opinion. It is open source, has a huge number of features (that don't get in the way of basic usage), and has mobile apps and desktop apps that work well on all platforms. Right now I am using it on Windows, Mac, AND Linux, as well as my Android phone. I have it syncing over Dropbox, but you can sync it however you like. The Android app automatically fetches the latest version, and supports auto-complete etc. I see no reason to pay for a password manager or use something that isn't open source.
- below43 6y agoI second this. KeePass is awesome (across all platforms)
- octorian 6y agoI'm the same way. The most important parts of the KeePass ecosystem to me are: 1. It runs on every platform I currently use, as well as any platform I might care to use, whether or not that platform is sufficiently "popular" for a company to justify caring about it. 2. It isn't dependent on the continued healthy existence of a company to remain usable, as I could simply self-maintain in a worst case scenario. These are very important things about a password manager to me, personally, which is why any of these more polished/popular options would be an extremely tough sell.
- Thorentis 6y agoYep, there is no way I am trusting a company with maintaining access to passwords on all my accounts and my clients accounts. Keep Pass uses a well documented XML file format that, if needed, I can manually decrypt and access if for some reason, every copy of KeePass is deleted.
- noisy_boy 6y agoDoing the same using Syncthing for syncing. For basic password management across devices without having to go to "cloud", I don't see a better alternative. The new polished UI for KeepassXC on Linux is a bonus.
