I'm quite confused in those keepass names. They aren't from one ecosystem?

[-] brisk@aussie.zone 8 points 3 days ago

In essence keepass is an open database format and a bunch of different software tools have been written to interact with it. You can quite happily share the same keepass database between different software, e.g. synced between desktop and mobile

There are multiple apps from various devs that all use the Keepass file format, so they are all compatible.

keepassxc is for desktop and keepassdx is for android and ios(?)

there is also keepass 2 but that has some vulnerabilities, as i understand

Keepassdx is sadly not on ios.

The only good one I've found is called strongbox. Free version works fine, but the pro version prices are insanity for something that is free everywhere else. I could get behind a lifetime buy of $10, but for $99 hell no. (Monthly sub is $3 or $25/year).

Looking at the app store now, most of the keepass apps have some form of in app purchace.

Only truly free one is call keepass touch, but frankly when I tired it, it sucked.

what about keepassium? I've used strongbox's free version and really liked it - only face ID support is missing from the free version. Keepassium has face ID support, but only for one keepass database.

Now, I use Keepassium for my main password database and strongbox for all others. The master pw for the other databases is stored in the iOS local password store which of course supports face ID. So for me strongbox works with face ID, but with an extra step.

Thats a nice work around lol.

I haven't tried keepassium. My main device is an android, so the IOS search was brief and focused on ones that didn't say "in-app purchases".

The tldr is if you're on windows, use keepass base. It has every feature anyone would want and plugins for the rest. It's basically perfect.

If you're not on windows, keepass xc is great, but Id think of it as like keepass' most used features, but less customizable and less absurdly complete.

Android has several the one I use is from fdroid and it's offline-only. Several out there have sync systems, but I use syncthing.
