Has anyone done a thoughtful comparison of PW managers? I moved on from keepass because it was a huge hassle to use, but LastPass and 1password both have some detractors as well.

I paid a one time license fee of 1Password, then I use it offline on laptop and iPhone. I sync them through wifi regularly. This offline use option is not very disclosed on the website but it’s possible and in my opinion it’s more safe. I’ve tried open source password apps but the problem it’s they are all from independent developers. These developers can’t afford security reviews and I can’t tell if the version on t…

I am curious how it works, technically speaking. I already have this capability with password-store (pass), that works for Firefox, Chrome and Safari on destop and mobile. pass - https://www.passwordstore.org (core program) passff - https://github.com/jvenant/passff (firefox desktop) passforios - https://mssun.github.io/passforios (ios w/firefox mobile) qtpass - http://qtpass.org (osx, linux, windows)

OpenKeychain and Password-store (paired with a yubikey) is the entire reason I use Android over iOS. I really wish there was hardware GPG key solution for the iphone.

The iOS app seems to be region-locked to U.S. only App Store.

Only for now. This is just the beginning of an experimental product and we're hoping to bring it far and wide later. Other than "every", what language or regions would you want/expect/need first?

I've been working on this distributed offline-first datastore that uses the Git protocol as the network layer. I'm calling it GitDB (but the Git trademark is getting more strictly enforced these days so that'll need to change). The idea is that we should be able to build tools where the user can understand and manage where data is stored while at the same time keeping many of the conveniences of modern apps, like cro…

I hope it only uses normal git stuff, so that I can selfhost it too on my laptop or on my computer at home as I do with my private git repos?
