What do you use for syncing your password manager between your Android phone and your PC? Apparently Nextcloud doesn’t support two-way syncing on Android for some reason, and Syncthing-Fork is still untrustworthy since the disastrous handover. The AI generated profile picture of researchxxl doesn’t exactly inspire confidence either, neither does his GitHub bio:

Hi! My name is Jonas and I like to use my coding skills from games and modding to continue work on the Syncthing for Android wrapper.

Everything about this person screams vibe coder.

Bitwarden is an alternative, but I don’t like how non-standard it is. It’s cumbersome to manage and backup, meanwhile the KeePass format is just a file that I can backup wherever and however I want and there are many frontends to choose from.

Have you solved this?

    I’ve run into this issue with obsidian, but for whatever reason I haven’t had any issues with keepassdx.

    When opening an existing keepass vault, on the left there’s an “Open From” pullout menu. You should be able to select your nextcloud from there. Then find your keepass file and it’ll just work.

    I don’t know why, but obsidian doesn’t have the same file picker. There’s no “open from” menu. So you just have to drill into the filesystem, find the folder nextcloud is using, and choose your notes vault you’ve sync’ed in there. And for whatever reason, that seems to be the method that breaks Two-Way Sync.
