keepassxc is based in germany, as it seems.

Keepassxc. I'm a little skeptical to hosted solutions

[-] 0485919158191@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

https://keepassxc.org/ is the only password manager I trust. It's fully offline and you can "host" your database wherever you want.

I know that Bitwarden is headquartered in California, but they do have Bitwarden.eu, which I would think is operating inside the EU?

I think a lot of people are concerned about situations like this: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27191500

Don't know about the EU, but this is the only one you'll ever need.

I tried it for some months but eventually switched to keepassXC

Feel free to crosspost to !buyeuropean@feddit.uk

[-] oni@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

I'm not sure if european, but I love the combo keepass+nextcloud (self hosted)

[-] Slupiec@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

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

[-] brisk@aussie.zone 8 points 3 months 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

[-] MangoPenguin 4 points 3 months ago

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

[-] fuzzy_feeling@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

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

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

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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".

[-] Slupiec@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

https://heylogin.app/pair Found this one and it is very simple to use and sync between pc and android. German made.

[-] kalistia@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Not open source afaik

[-] Jestzer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I think Clipperz is. Somebody please correct me if I’m wrong.

[-] Slupiec@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[-] 6R1MR34P3R@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

keepassxc for GUI for CLI/TUI I like gopass but you have many many options, just search

[-] chaoticnumber@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

If you ever want to self host ... psono is always an option, but it has a hairy setup.

[-] oni@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

if you ever want to self host ... vaultwarden is the opensource version of bitwarden

[-] warmaster@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It looks nice, but it has no Passkey support, right?

You can set up your own MySQL instance with an encrypted database where you keep all passwords and joined information. Using any programming language you can either set up an app with a GUI yourself where you query your passwords or use queries directly in MySQL. I understand when you ask now for what all that hassle, but at least you have a bit more control of your data and there is not a potential company behind or a code fragment which may inform the company about any actions. BTW, you may learn some coding, so it can be fun too.
