#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
Fwiw, the biggest downside of it is multiple user functionality. It's doable, but you have to import the public gpg key of everybody who needs to access the secrets. Effectively, every secret ends up encrypted with the public key of every user who needs access - not sure how scalable it would be if you have more than a small team of people accessing it this way.
For that you can go with gopass: https://www.gopass.pw/ It has first-class support for multiple stores and it's 100% compatible with pass databases.
wow that looks fantastic - nicely fills the gaps I still have with using pass everywhere.

#53I like portable-secret which uses the built-in browser cryptographic functions, no external software.

#54For all the people recommending keepassxc and are also iOS users, how do you deal with the lack of reproducibility of iOS apps?
Even “opensource” apps such as strongbox and keepassium have no way of asserting that whatever code they publish on GitHub is the same that I’m installing through the AppStore.
Am I just overly paranoid?
This is the main hindrance for me to using KeePassXC everywhere. If I’m going to blindly trust anyone I prefer to trust apple keychain.

#56For cloud-synched across devices: BitWarden. For maximum security (no cloud sync): KeePassXC In both cases an essential feature applies: if you forget your master password you've lost access to your password database.
I feel safe using KeePass. Its hotkey auto-fills most of the time. You can regularly sync/backup the database to cloud.

The author of that article wrote, "If you absolutely need the CLI interface, I do not really have any good recommendations for you." I think the existence of the (minor[1]) issues raised in that article are less annoying than having to use a GUI password manager (but I'm generally anti-GUI).

#58Dashlane has never failed me once since 2017. I even got my family to do the family plan. It rocks.
Since 2014 for me, through multiple startups. Easiest way to maintain personal passwords and still allow role-based management by any business I am managing or working with, in the same program and login.

#60Back when 1password, 90% sure it was that, had no Linux client I was searching for a solution to store passwords and settled for Enpass. I sync via WebDAV on my Synology NAS and I’m not really worried to lose anything since every synced device has a full copy of the data. Thought about switching to 1password a few months back since we’re using it at work and the client is better but they don’t have an Enpass import.…
Yes! Enpass is great, and I love that I can back it up to my own cloud instead of being forced into one cloud like with 1password
