- #KEY EXCHANGE WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. KEEPASSXC PASSWORD#
I do strongly feel that password management is too important to trust to a vendor. I’m probably leaning toward just sharing a separate database. KeeShare just gives you the convenience of having shared stuff within your database instead of having a separate shared database that you have to open. I haven’t decided if KeeShare is worth the trouble as you can easily just share a third database. It’s a bit confusing at first, but allows for syncing a shared folder in your database with another database (use case: you and your wife both have personal databases with a shared folder synchronized between the two). The one feature KeepassXC has that Keepass doesn’t is KeeShare. They are very similar, but each has their own benefits. I’m still using and comparing both Keepass and KeepassXC as the database format is compatible with both. Going fully open source and offline-client-based means there can never be another bait-and-switch. My reasoning for going to the trouble is that this is the last switch I will ever make. Yes, I probably should have mentioned that Keepass is not as turn-key as the paid solutions, but with a bit of work you can get to a pretty good solution. If you’re going to give money to support something, why not open source? Apparently they can both be used without an extension by using the auto-type function (although I haven’t tested that much). Keepass works with the Kee Firefox expension pretty well so far. Maybe I just need more time to figure it out. I’m really liking KeepassXC, but their browser extension seems a bit buggy too.

Android has Keepass2Android, which I haven’t tried but is well regarded. Sharing is a bit less straight forward, but it can work in a couple of ways. I sync my database through Onedrive and use Strongbox and/or Keepassium on iOS. The Keepass clients and file format are open source, so it can never be taken from you. This was the push I needed to take back my password database and I feel so much better. The Lastpass Firefox extension has been getting steadily worse and buggy so I was actually looking at switching before this new development. There’s just no protection against them changing the deal (again) in the future, whether you pay or not. I was always uncomfortable with vendor lock-in for all of these online services. It looks like I’m the only one rediscovering Keepass / KeepassXC.
