    No, KeepassXC has an option to merge databases, it never caused me any trouble. I have a similar setup to parent commenter.

    I don't think that's true. Some years ago I did a free trial with them (did not pay anything). More recently I decided to actually sign up (for a paid account) and the email addres…

    It seemed to me that the previous poster wanted a way to wait for the result of a promise (in a blocking manner), and I meant that this is available in other languages. You're righ…
