Personally? KeepassXC is more user-friendly, i beleive Keepass2Android is more confusing

[–] uzay@infosec.pub 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I would prefer being able to use KeepassDX on my mobile (I assume you meant that), but I got burnt trying to use that while syncing my database through my Nextcloud. KDX does not check for external changes before overwriting the database, and with background-sync being as unreliable as it is on android, I have lost a few passwords that way without noticing it.

I don't even have a nextcloud, i just keep my database on a single folder sync across my tablet and phone, if you could set up the nextcloud to sync in rhat same folder you (theorically) would have no problems 🤔

[–] uzay@infosec.pub 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I mean that's what I had been doing. The issue was just that the background sync of the nextcloud app on android wasn't reliable enough and KeepassDX had no mechanisms to check for external changes before overwriting

Then i can't help you, Use whatever works and it's trustworthy enough for you, just don't be surprised and come crying if Bitwarden SOMEHOW gets a security breach.

[–] uzay@infosec.pub 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm not using Bitwarden though. I have a Vaultwarden instance I was using for a while, but I was talking about KeepassDX vs Keepass2Android.

[–] RayOfSunlight@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You're right, sorry for going off-topic, anyway.

KeepassDX is a lot superior IMO, i doubt Keepass2Android is updated even today.

One small bonus it has is that it has a link to download custom icons for KeepassDX entries

[–] uzay@infosec.pub 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

As I said, I like KeepassDX better as well. But the feature it is missing is critical for me unfortunately. I don't know why you think Keepass2Android is not updated though, the last release was 3 months ago.

[–] RayOfSunlight@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

And KeepassDX's was 14 days ago, and what's that critical feature it's missing?

[–] chebra@mstdn.io 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

@uzay Try Syncthing. If there is any conflict, syncthing keeps the conflicted file, and then keepass is able to merge them, so in the worst case some of your deleted passwords will come back, but you'll never lose any.

[–] uzay@infosec.pub 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, there are ways of fixing it after the fact, but that is too inconvenient and error-prone for me. I prefer if my Keepass app just makes sure my database is up to date before making any changes
