Never again on Keepass. The dollar savings is not worth the hassle of it. You have to use a different client on every device because the official client is Windows only, and I’ve even experienced bugs a client I used that caused me to lose data entered into secure notes. And while a single page app client is nice, it’s not good for password managers. 1Password integrates with the iOS password management API and brows…
I have kept my PC version of database as master. All of my tablets mobiles access it in read only basis. This is to avoid the sync conflicts.
So you voluntarily prevent yourself from updating passwords when you’re on your phone or tablet just so that your password manager doesn’t lose data?
Isn’t that a ridiculous design oversight? To completely handicap any situation involving more than one computer? That’s exactly why I stopped using Keepass.
All that hassle so that you can save $10 a year.

Keepass is another cross-platform option (open source), though the UI on non-windows environments is a bit... crap. Nontheless, it works, and it works well.
Yeah, the lack of a good Mac client made Keepass untenable for me. I tried several and they all sucked. A password manager is the one thing which I really need to work well everywhere , because I need access to my passwords everywhere.
I'm evaluating StrongBox right now. https://strongboxsafe.com/
Features for MacOS are being actively developed to bring it up to parity with the iOS apps.
Re: Changes to LastPass Free
#274I've been wanting to move away from LastPass for a while now for different reasons - it feels very heavy and clunky. It's slow and the autofill can be glitchy. Does anyone have any recommendations from this perspective? 1password seems more Apple-oriented, but my devices are all Windows (chrome), and Android. There's lots of discussion here about "terrible UI," but I imagine none of these password managers are consis…
I use 1-password and I don't agree with it being Apple-oriented. Their integration with Apple OSs is awesome, but their Windows solutions work really well as well.
I'm very happy with it.

How well does it work on iOS? I’ve been happy with how well LastPass integrates with iOS so far.
It works great on iOS. Full integration as you would expect, pops up at the top of the keyboard for app & website autofills. FaceID is also implemented to authenticate before opening your vault. edit: One note about something that was bugging me for a while...items created on my computer sometimes wouldn't show up in the vault for immediate use. Painful when you sign up for a service using your computer and then try…
I think with any install of BitWarden, be it a browser add-in or separate app, the one you are adding a new credential into knows enough to sync to the cloud, but the others won’t know that new data awaits in the cloud until they do a scheduled query/poll or you manually sync through those clients.
Having a push feature only works if you can engineer your app or add-in to open up the necessary ports or tunnels in the OS itself. Polling on the client end will always be easier to implement.
Also: just checked BitWarden v2.8.0 (449) on iOS 14.4, no setting for “swipe to refresh” anywhere in its settings.

#276Thanks for posting this, I just migrated from lastpass to bitwarden.
Re: Changes to LastPass Free
#277LastPass was my first ever password manager and I used for it ~5 years. A few years ago, I got fed up with how sluggish it was (at least, at the time). So I switched over the Bitwarden. Unfortunately, the Bitwarden Safari extension for macOS had a bug where I had unlock my vault every time I wanted to use a credential and that got annoying. Around the same time I started using Bitwarden, I started at a job with a cor…
I was going to reply "the problem with 1password is they have no Linux support," but it looks like Linux support actually got added late last year! (Or at least there's an open beta.) https://blog.1password.com/1password-for-linux-beta-is-now-o... Anyone used both 1password and Bitwarden? I'm using Bitwarden right now, but I dislike the fact that their desktop app is Electron based.
Pretty sure the 1Password linux app is also Electron.
Bitwarden is fine, especially for $10/yr.

There's a CLI. I honestly just end up using the browser extension...

Absolutely. I don't know what eventually triggers the vault on my iOS device to update. It definitely isn't a push notification when the vault is modified on other devices. Probably just a simple duration-since-last-update timer, like the Chrome extension.
My trouble was specifically related to the 'Pull down to refresh' behavior being disabled by default though. If that feature is disabled the new items will appear sometime, with no way of knowing when that will be. I honestly don't even know why that feature has an ON/OFF switch, it should just be permanently enabled.

#280What's a good solution for a WebDAV storage backend?
I use this docker image: https://github.com/BytemarkHosting/docker-webdav, but with a PR that has yet to be merged that makes it easy to use a different UID/GUID [1]. I've tried to do it with nginx, as described in [2], but it just did not work reliably - it would often disconnect and instead of going down a debugging rabbit hole I just used the Apache based image. There is also a Go server [3] that I have not tried.
Lastly, I put an nginx reverse-proxy in front of it for SSL - probably not necessary since nothing is on the public internet.
