Keepass vs keeweb7/3/2023 ![]() ![]() Security and long term use are my main concern. Should I go with KeePass with it's open-sourceness and ability to use it on a thumb drive? Or should I go with 1Password and enjoy a better, official mobile app and browser extension? So, I'm trying to decide between 1Password and KeePass and can't make up my mind. I may just be being paranoid here, but I don't want to take any chances. I'm also concerned that they might shut down one day, or a disgruntled employee might decide to insert something malicious into the software, etc. I'd love to use 1Password, but I'm just not sure how secure it really is. In short, I trust KeePass itself, but I'm not sure if I can trust the third-party developers of the mobile app and browser extension. (1Password has local WiFi sync) There is also KeeFox for Firefox integration, but I'm not sure if I trust that either. Also, syncing between my PC and the app would be a pain. There is MiniKeePass on the iOS App Store, but I'm not sure if I trust it not to make off with my data. The only things really keeping me from using KeePass are the lack of an official mobile app and good browser integration. However, KeePass seems more secure being as it's open source and there is a portable version which can be put onto an encrypted thumb drive. 1Password can be set to store everything locally, has a great mobile app and good browser integration. 1Password, KeePass, and Dashlane all have a mobile app, but Dashlane sends the file to the app via their web servers, so I crossed out Dashlane. It needs to have a mobile iOS application as well. I do NOT want my database file (even if it is encrypted) being stored in the cloud, so I crossed out LastPass. I did some research on the programs out there and narrowed my options down to these four: 1Password, KeePass, Dashlane, and LastPass. ![]() In purely my use case the only thing I strongly disliked about BitWarden is the lack of a native feeling desktop app and SSH agent integration.I heard about password managers awhile back and have been thinking about getting one. AutoFill on android regardless of the API version my Android ROM used was at best poor when in comparison to BitWarden, it had much better recognition and overall speed when identifying logins it just feels way more polished at least to me. Unless you already make use of Syncthing for purposes other then solely for keep your KeePass file in sync like I did I wouldn't recommend it if you make extensive use of Password Managers on your phone.įurthermore my experience with the Android Apps for KeePass unfortunately don't hold a candle to BitWarden. Firstly the keepass/syncthing combo that gets highly upvoted is just plain clunky, sync thing on mobile (synthing-fork as well) drains battery life and at least for me often would not connect to my home server particularly well, what I mean by this is they would become "disconnected" for no apparent reason. If you can afford a VPS or you are confident your own internet won't go down then I would highly suggest Bitwarden over Keepass purely from a quality of life perspective. I know this is late but just wanted to add some extra information from someone who has used KeePass and its variants for years an recently moved to Bitwarden (rust ver).
