The backend is proprietary. Avoid.

I'll take KeepassXC and KeepassDX + SyncThing, just works and I don't have to ever rely on someone else for my most sensitive data.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (4 children)

This. At least until i find a better solution than syncthing. But keepass(xc) all the way.

I'll still stick with bitwarden, but if I were to introduce someone very tech illiterate, I would probably recommend proton

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (10 children)

I'm tech illiterate and been using Bitwarden for 3 years (premium), and honestly it doesn't work very well on Android. Every time I need to enter a password, it's completely hit-or-miss with Bitwarden. Half of the time it doesn't even pop up. I'm using Xiaomi phone and tablet with stock rom (global version).

Should I switch to Proton?

Try the free version and switch to premium if you like it better than bitwarden.

Proton VPN and nothing more.

They need to focus on providing quality services instead of quantity. The ProtonMail webmail is a shame: multiple selection lost if you click just outside the checkbox because that will open the email, emails that just after have been deketed reappear in the inbox and don't get me started on the search 🤢!

P.s. I've double commented because I've just realized that I've written the other comment in Italian 😆, sorry.

the password manager kinda sucks too. credit cards are in a category that you have to delete the name of the site you're visiting in order to see. sometimes I question why I'm paying for the thing. lastpass was way better 10 years ago.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Very much agree

I use protonmail and very happy with that, so much so I pay for it.

But I would not place my mail and all my secrets in the same spot.

for the love of god use a free open source app like keepass, this is a untrustworthy company

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

I've been using Keepass like more than 5 years. And its perfect.

Which F-Droid client is that?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Looks like the standard F-Droid client

Oh wait it's not, F-Droid doesn't show the file size at the top

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah everything except the file size showing checks out

Edit : maybe it is the new versions or beta which most of us don't have as it is not suggested .

Or even better use a local password manager. People will be swallowed by so much false comfort

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Isn't keepass local?

Neat, I'm personally gonna keep with KeepassDX, but it's good knowing that there's some more variety popping up in the mobile market.
