Comment on Password managers are less secure than promised
victorz@lemmy.world 5 days agoI assume you follow proper backup protocol of you are using offline password management.
How do you sync though? You keep one copy on your phone or something, I imagine? What apps and managers are you using?

KeepassXC is the goat :)
The database file is encrypted so its fine to sync it however you like. I use syncthing for it. Obviously set a very good password on it if you sync it through unsecure channels.

I had a look at this, and the only thing that intrigued be about KeePass was the ChaCha20 encryption which seems modern and nice.
I usually use
rbwwhich doesn’t use a web page to interact with BitWarden. It stores a local copy of the database, so the only time it contacts the servers is when adding new info or syncing or otherwise changing stuff.I’ll look more into KeePassXC and KeePassDX for mobile. Might be interesting, but the annoying part would be the syncing. You’d have to pay close attention to where you add new entries, and not add entries on separate devices if you want them synced to all devices. Or does that work somehow with KeePassXC?

Just set it up so that the resulting .kdbx database file is always instantly synced between your devices whenever you make changes. Everything is in that file and all keepass versions can open it. I use syncthing for this because it doesnt require a server, but you can use nextcloud or whatever you have available.

I don’t really understand how you would set that up on a mobile device but I probably won’t use KeePassXC since it doesn’t seem to have good credit card entry support.
