A entry-based password manager? (feddit.de)

I dont agree with many things apple does at all, and I also think their password manager has flaws like revealing usernames without authentification.

It is pretty handy though, to have a file where the entries are stored unencrypted, and if the password manager detects an entry it prompts to decrypt exactly that field, maybe with a fingerprint.

KeepassDX needs to run in the background and be completely unlocked to even detect apps or password fields.

Do you know any existing app that can do this?

Bitwarden if you want it in the cloud, Keepass if you want it on the device. I'd recommend PrivacyGuides.org's recommendations this time. They are rather careful as to what they recommend, still doesn't mean they always get it right.

What do you think about PrivacyTools.io? Are they on the same level as PrivacyGuides.org?

As announced on July 27th, and on Sept 14th, 2021, The Team Formerly Known As PrivacyTools.io – the entirety of the team providing privacy-related advice & services to you for the past couple years – has transitioned to PrivacyGuides.org and r/PrivacyGuides. Please join us there. :) For more recent news regarding The Reddit Blackout, see: https://lemmy.one/post/74432.

Taken straight from the privacytools.io subreddit description. This will tell you more.

Privacytools.io does seem to be quite outdated currently. There are other good sources out there however.
