I have kept my PC version of database as master. All of my tablets mobiles access it in read only basis. This is to avoid the sync conflicts.


So you voluntarily prevent yourself from updating passwords when you’re on your phone or tablet just so that your password manager doesn’t lose data?

Isn’t that a ridiculous design oversight? To completely handicap any situation involving more than one computer? That’s exactly why I stopped using Keepass.

All that hassle so that you can save $10 a year.

My use case is different. My all passwords are in Chrome. Simple. Keypass has some specific passwords like Chrome Sync Phrase, some zip file passwords, some other things. Plus initially I used to use keypass when i started using any password management instead of same password everywhere.

At that time, & still now, I use Dropbox to sync PC KP db with Dropbox. Then FolderSync to sync one way (read only) from Dropbox to Phone. If i need to add password, I wanted to make sure I can add only on PC. PC had the official Keypass, phones had the Offline Keypass App.

$10 now is nothing for me, but few years ago in India it is about 2 days salary of a manual laborour. About 5 meals. Or about 10 litres of Petrol.

I am always wary of anything online which has my passwords. The same reason Chrome does not have all my passwords, but still I trust Google more than any other relatively smaller software like Lastpass or bit warden or anything.


Bitwarden is 100% open source and self-hostable.
