KeePassDX, nice choice! I really wish I could have DX or XC on both phone and desktop. Love both but would prefer to donate to one. Wallet is unhappy but I really try to donate to all FOSS apps I use…
I do back it up with the rest of my stuff to an external hard drive, but that’s… Like once in a year so could be better.
I have my keepass database file in my cloud that i use to sync it between phone and PC. I create a backup of all of my files on my PC + cloud folder once a year to an external hard drive. Better than nothing but probably would be better to do this more frequently 😄
I also empty my phone from time to time and move everything I want to keep to my PC (like photos).
BTW I find SimpleX is great for syncing between your phone and PC. I used it with multiple computers/profiles on GOS and just created an incognito group without history and with disappearing message and that’s how I moved stuff like addresses and passwords to my PC. The app is also great for communication ofc
It’s AMAZING, so many settings, and I use Orbot proxy (doesn’t take VPN slot) and configure SimpleX to use it for that extra extra protection (and concurrently I use mullvadVPN for that extra extra extra protection)
Wait isn’t that defeating the purpose of KeePass? I strictly use it as a local password manager (no cloud backups and such), since I thought that was the main spelling point
You can of course. I think the selling point is that you control it and it’s a single file that you can decide where you’ll keep it, how you access it, and what app you use to interact with it.
I can copy, delete, move it all without needing a service for it. Can modify it offline and everything!
I don’t host the file on a password manager dedicated cloud, it’s my own cloud space with other files I have there as well. So the file is just in my cloud space, with other files, and i have a synced folder on my phone + pc and just access that cloud folder with the file from keepassXC on my PC and keepassDX on my phone :)
For me keepass offered a single databae file that I can decide where and how I keep it. Also works offline because the cloud syncs folders and even without internet a version exists on my phones cloud folder (until it gets synced again with internet).
Or is the database file encrypted with a password? If not you might want to use something like VeraCrypt to encrypt and password protect the database files on the cloud
Didn’t see this comment but: I trust enough my cloud provider + the database file is encrypted with the masterpassword you set for your keepass.
I also use this cloud to host my Joplin notes, which are also E2EE (joplin supports it) so even if my cloud provider would take a peek it’s all encrypted.

Yeah keepass the goat! I use mainly proton and keepass for when I’m more paranoid
For me that has lately been always
Do you have a backup? I recently lost my crypto due to my KeePassDX getting deleted accidentally (I saved the seed there) :(
(I didn’t have a wallet at the time so I was cooked)
Oh shit… Damn. sorry that happened to you :(

Nice tip, thanks! still haven’t given simpleX a try. Mostly because it was hard enough to get family and friends to move to signal :)

Note is that I don’t link my SimpleX to my PC but create separate profiles

Can you give me a quick rundown of how you run your cloud space? Can I just Ubicloud + Coolify + Nextcloud?

Nobody seems to talk about the OG pen and paper password manager!
