Been using keepassxc with self hosted seafile for sync for a few years now. Keepassdx on android. Super happy with this combo.
Is KeepassDX better than KeepPass2Android?

#62I use KeePass. Should I switch to KeePassXC?
Also this:
KeePass logged password in plaintext. Really bad CVE case.
KPXC had no such issue.

KeePassXC auto-type is a lot more powerful. It can be configured in several ways and works with a lot more windows: SSH sessions in terminals, os wi…
I sync the (strongly) encrypted database throughout my devices with Syncthing and it works flawlessly. I have an old laptop with syncthing running always on to avoid sync conflicts.
Interesting, thank you.
Syncthing looks a lot like a "make your own cloud" solution.
I use OwnCloud in a RaspberryPi, instead. But as Moxie Marlinspike famously said: "People don’t want to run their own servers, and never will". (https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html)

#64How well does it integrate with web browsing? The Lastpass/1Password extensions work pretty seamlessly.
The auto-type works fine for me with the Firefox Keepass helper url-in-title addon.

#65Been a happy user of KeePassXC for over 4 years now. I keep the password databases and keys synchronised across devices using Syncthing. Once I've set this up, it's pretty transparent and I haven't had to tinker with it.
Same setup, the DB only came out of sync (conflict) a few times but that's because with my setup Syncthing is only doing it's thing when I'm on my local network...

You don't have to "make your own cloud" to use Syncthing : you can just set your phone and your laptop as sharing, and never have to handle a server at any time.
Of course it's not magical : for them to be in sync, you'll then have to have both turned on with Syncthing running at the same time.
But if you have something lying around, like an old laptop, it's trivial to have it running, and maintenance is super low, just keep update it from time to time : I have Syncthing running on a low cost server for multiple years, syncing pictures + documents, and the only issue I ever had was disk space running out once.

#67KPXC is brilliant. Recently I switched to it from BitWarden and I am satisfied. The only issue for me is the autotype support on Wayland (it's not there yet; currently only able to auto fill password and username for xwayland app).
Curious, why did you switch from BitWarden? It’s usually the other way around (though personally I never felt the need to switch from KPXC).
I chose KPXC because I am in easy access to the database, and since I already pay for cloud hosting I just sync the database on the cloud (I use Seafile, I recommend!). Open and convenient :)
I'm sure Bitwarden is more than adequate as well though.

#68I use keepass2 at work on a PC/windows and KeepassXC on my home computers (Mac and Linux). The only thing that make me still liking Keepass2 more is its compatibility with plugins. I can't wait for keepassXC to support them.
Never, ever mix Keepass2 and KeepassXC. KeepassXC does not support the sync protocol from keepass2 that allows multiple people/devices to use the same keepass database. We only found out after losing 200+ passwords.

#69PSA: Never, ever mix Keepass2 and KeepassXC when using network shares. KeepassXC does not support the sync protocol from keepass2 that allows multiple people/devices to use the same keepass database. We only found out after losing 200+ passwords.

> I use Seafile, I recommend
I recently tried it, as I don’t need 90% of the features NextCloud offers anyway. Sadly, the installation process seems far more complicated, and I ended up just abandoning it and going back to NC after getting unclear error messages.
