    What’s the benefit over KpXC + syncthing? I use syncthing for syncing all my documents, pictures, etc across all of my devices and my keepass database is one of them and all I need to do is launch the app, enter my password and search for the account/domain and copy the info.

    This way I can use it for websites, device encryption keys, app logins, account backup keys, bank codes, etc. I also don’t depend on third-party hosting. Never understood the appeal of cloud-based browser extensions. Especially since firefox has that built in these days.

      I tried that for a while, but the autofill was a bit temperamental and switching apps felt a bit tedious.

      My phone alse kept killing Syncthing, even after disabling battery optimisations for it. This left me with lots of sync conflicts and I got a bit paranoid about losing passwords. I love the idea of avoiding cloud-based services but it just wasn’t worth the hassle for me.

          Thanks! There are a few steps I haven’t tried there - if they work I’ll give keepass+syncthing another chance

              Yeah, I have one too :|. Explains why the battery life is so good but damn, you shouldn’t have to uninstall a system app to tweak power saving settings.
