Keepass vault synced over syncthing.

I keep not regretting it.

Syncthing fork seems to still be under active development

Was going to be my solution as well, bjt Syncthing-Android just got discontinued.

[–] ocassionallyaduck 16 points 1 day ago

F-Droid syncthing-fork is still actively developed and had a patch in the last few weeks.

So hopefully this isn't the end.

I've always loved Keepass, however I moved away from it in 2012 as it and any file based vault has brute forcing issues. You need to track every copy of it that has been made and if any copy falls out of your hands, like if you lose a device, you need to do a password rotation on 100% of your passwords. Since its a file, its not possible to prevent brute forcing.

everything's a file

I was thinking the same. But, it is safe to share the password database like this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Consider the possibility that someone could get your database.

It isn't a safe. You can't weld through the side of it and get in. You either make it ridiculous or impossible to get in.

Use something memorable, but insane.

My password is a three-line film quote with numbers in some of the places for letters.

Haikus work great. Memorable, complex. Wrote it yourself? Even better.
