What primary task(s) do you use emacs for? How were you introduced to using emacs? And since then already how long? : r/emacs (teddit.net)
 

On reddit side of internet there is this post. Just wanted to see Lemmy's answer to that question, so I will start:

I was introduced to Emacs about 15 years ago, but it didn't click with me at that time. I was young and foolish, laughing all the time "hehe muh parentheses". At that time I got into world of Vi. Fast forward to today and I use Emacs for almost everything. I started my true journey about three years ago, slowing using it for more and more stuff.

Here is list of stuff I do inside of Emacs:

  • it's my WM (EXWM)
  • IRC client (weechat.el)
  • RSS reader (elfeed)
  • NNTP and email reader (Gnus)
  • time tracking, to do tracking, calendar (org-mode)
  • note taking (org-roam)
  • music and video player (emms with mpv backend)
  • mastodon client (mastodon.el)
  • wallabag client (wallabage.el)
  • file browser (dired) and remote tool with tramp
  • shell (eshell)
  • code editor (Emacs with LSP)
  • git interface (magit)
  • documentation browser (devdocs)
  • gemini browser (elpher)
  • pdf reader (pdf-tools)
  • epub reader (nov.el)
  • calibre library client (calibredb)
  • openstreetmap browser (osm)
  • search engines client (engine-mode)

At this point I started to think about Emacs more as an GUI framework with integrated elisp interpreter then code editor.

Going back to original question: what is your story with Emacs?

There are importers for most of the password storage options. I would recommend separate database for import and then merging import db with your actual database, backing up everything before.

Or you can use something like Yubikey as a second layer. Don't know if that works on mobile.

As many said combination of KeePassXC on computer and KeePassXD on android. I sync file with syncthing. For security I have setup three word passphrase, made of words representing unique stuff that was on my desk at the time of creating file, words are connected with symbols not spaces. Even if someone gets my password database file, it will be useless for them.

KeePass has many adventages:

  • local file, no need for internet to check passwords
  • tested and trusted file format
  • compared to pass (other local solution) encrypts metadata
  • can store more then password: ssh keys, otp
  • tons of applications supporting file format - death of one doesn't mean anything
