I use regular KeePass for one reason only: its ability to open a remote database using SFTP. https://keepass.info/plugins.html#sftpsync

How does this system handle conflicts?

How exactly, I don't know the details. But there is a built-in "synchronize" feature.

Love KeePassXC - it's a beautiful and speedy program which simply just works without ever causing any problems. The original KeePass always struck me as a tad heavy due to its somewhat archaic aesthetic and dependency on Mono, whereas KeePassXC looks modern and requires minimal resources and dependencies. I combine it with KeePassium on iOS and Resilio Sync for synchronising across my main and mobile devices. (Syncth…

I use Strongbox on iOS which I highly recommend checking out. It's payed (one time) but open source

This is true, but pricing is currently $3/mo, $15/year, $60 lifetime. So the one time payment is larger than most.

One of the things I like about the auto-type is that you can reconfigure it on a per-site basis in case the login sequence isn't the usual. I can have it page through my company's sso labrynth, enter tenancy IDs, trigger my preferred duo method or even navigate to a subpage after logging in. With most other PW managers you are just left with what it gives you and if it doesn't detect the logon fields, that's just too…

I really like the DELAY function. YouTube is one of those sites where they have email and password on different cards/sites, so I can just add a delay of about 3 seconds and the auto fill in will work:)

There is also a "username-only option for this site" popup that sometimes can detect this kind of login flow, and usually handles it correctly.

I've easily gotten $60 worth of value out of it. Happy to pay that kind of money for software that I use frequently and that works well.

Wow! Now I feel stupid. Thank you. That's very cool.

On Linux at least you don't really need a browser extension and can arguably reduce the attack surface You can use global Auto-type which brings up Keepass window where you can pick from relevant entries. You can a Global keyboard shortcut and it will work mostly anywhere.

another tip - ff has an extension that adds the page's url to the title bar. This helps keepass autotype work better since it has a url to match

I wish it had templates for credit cards.

The other critical feature I want is for it to store my expired passwords, once I change them. I have had stupid services where the old passwords were still in use somewhere or the other, and I don't want to delete them.

Right now I just copy past them in the notes, but there should be an easier way.

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.

> 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.

I see; I use hosted version (some here https://www.seafile.com/en/partner/ -- they should advertise it better imo). Had no problems from the beginning (there are clients for Linux/Win/etc. as well).

I like the idea of self-hosting a lot, but I also think it's fine to have hosted services of OSS (I think you need to be technically oriented to make it work easily and reliably, which isn't everyone).

Not sure what you mean but the default KeepassXC on Fedora 35 with Wayland does not do autofill in Firefox.

I'm going to take a guess and say that you're using GNOME if you're using Fedora and yeah, I don't think auto type works on GNOME's wayland version yet. They're working on their own protocol called libie the last time I checked. However, auto typing on Wayland works pretty well if you use wlroots compositors/window managers like sway.

Using default GNOME, yes.
