seems like a reason to switch banks.
Don't all banks do this? Here in the UK it basically seems mandatory. Try to change your password/phone/email, they'll send you an actual letter which has a passcode you need to enter in to the website. Although mine took only a day to arrive.

What is the cause for your paranoia about keeping your keyfile in your Dropbox? I have used and advocated this model for years with no ill effects. My Dropbox is secured by MFA, with the Dropbox password itself being a random password within the KeePass keyfile. I store the whole Keepass program for Windows inside the same Dropbox account, feel free to indicate that as a security gap. On mobile I use the KeePass2Andr…
You meant the kdbx file right? not the separate keyfile you can use to secure the kdbx file with. I think the feeling is the same as the feeling of just leaving your SSH private key "out there". Sure, it's protected with a passphrase, but I still don't want to do that. Can you trust Dropbox would never have security issues? See https://blogs.dropbox.com/dropbox/2011/06/yesterdays-authent...

Its somewhat easier in iOS 11, there's a more dedicated area in settings. Also, in iOS 11, it provides usernames and passwords within apps, which is super convenient.
What do you mean by a "more dedicated area"? I don't have a spare device to test the beta on.

As I am currently a LastPass user, could you fill me in on the security problems?
Sure, take a look on Google's Project Zero and search for "LastPass": https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/list?can=1&q... Or search the news for LastPass security issues: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lastpass+security+issues&t=iphone&...

I understand why it makes people uncomfortable to know that they're not getting all the information I could possibly convey in a comment. I don't see how that would make it better for me to not comment at all.
I understand why you don't want to go digging up information to link, especially if using a phone. In this case, I think sharing a little truth about LastPass may benefit our community. https://www.google.com/amp/s/arstechnica.com/security/2017/0...

I haven't switched from Lastpass yet, but I'm seriously considering.

Keepass user here wanting to switch over to pass, this is exactly the missing piece of the puzzle I needed - thank you!
I'm looking into using pass / keepass, any particular reason you are switching over to pass?
If that's not a problem for you, KeePassX is definitely a solid password manager!

thanks, but all I see is 5 issues, all of which fixed (and rather quickly).
