I go with Keepass + Onedrive for my personal stuff
- pmontra 6y agoKeepass and Syncthing. The laptop is where I update the database. Every other device is read only. Sometimes I also copy the db to my phone over gvfs (kdeconnect / gsconnect) from the command line so I don't have to start Syncthing.
- txtsd 6y agoI do this, but other devices are configured as sources too, so I can add entries from my smart phone or wherever. KeepassDX on Android sets a AndroidApp attribute when an entry is used to autofill, because sometimes there isn't a website to match, so the com.X.Y format of the Android app's name will be used from the attribute next time. As a bonus, KeepassX on desktop reloads the DB automatically once syncthing syncs the changes, so you don't have to reload the DB manually after adding/changing an entry from your other devices.
- jobigoud 6y agoRisk of bidirectional synching, apart from conflicts when you edit from both sides, is that if something catastrophic happens, like you mistakenly delete half of your passwords, it gets synchronized to the other instances.
- txtsd 6y agoSyncthing can store histories, so you can retrieve your database from before the conflicts, if it happens. Personally, it hasn't happened to me. I keep my eye on syncthing's notification anyway, so it's not a problem to me.
- aerique 6y agoAnd to be absolutely sure I have a cronjob that backs up the DB at regular times :-)
- ObsoleteNerd 6y agoYeah I’ve been using Keepass with a synced db for about as long as it’s been around and never had a complaint. Got most of my family doing the same and they like it too... and no longer use petname1234 for every single website.
- gkfasdfasdf 6y agousername checks out I am doing the same. With security, I feel that there is value in simplicity and even a little inconvenience.
