I wonder, aren't the majority of HNers working at a for-profit company funded by VCs?
The hypocrisy is just intolerable at this point.
The only thing it suffers from is that it looks too complicated for casual users.
This is where 1Password or BitWarden really shine.
In a way this is a nice example of why 1Password or BitWarden are doing well. This might work out okay for a technical person, but the average user isn't going to look at the KeyPass downloads page [1] and feel confident about what to download -- even assuming they're using Windows, you need a phone app and sync for meaningful password management these days... and that's very worrying in their presentation. Whereas 1…
years later, its wonderful. they have EVERYTHING there and on their phones. they they dont need to keep the data synced at two places since they only use their phone so they keep a live copy on it and occasionally keep one with me just in case something happens to the phone.
it is a bulletproof setup that works. recently someone mistyped a password and i was like "dont you have keepass" and i was told "obvio"... that was nice.

I've been using KeePass on my windows PCs and Mac/IOS compatible versions on macs, iPads, and iPhones for years. I have my database on Dropbox so that all the Apple devices sync to the same file and a keep a local copy on my PC that is automatically updated from the Mac using WinSCP, a .bat file, and task scheduler. I have to do the copy thing because Dropbox reduced the number of devices that can access it directly…

I'm pretty much Syncthing + Synology these days. The bulk of my files are on Synology and the little files like the keepass databases are passed around with Syncthing.

I trust this over Bitwarden or Lastpass since you have to trust those services with your data (and I don't). Web-based password managers can be hacked, or have their login interface laced with third-party code that could be exfiltrating your master passphrase. My strategy is using KeePass and keeping multiple copies of the database in various cloud providers in case my local copy is lost/corrupted. It takes under a m…
For the super paranoid, SyncThing provides a straightforward way for you to synchronise your database between various local devices without having any data in the cloud at all. [edit: Syncthing's Discovery Server probably counts as data, actually; you can work around that but then it's less "straightforward"]
I ended up uploading the file to Google Drive and using it's client. It works pretty flawlessly.
