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

[–] Helkriz@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

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

Which F-Droid client is that?

[–] Napain@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

it's the standard one

Looks like the standard F-Droid client

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

[–] misc@lemmy.sdf.org 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 .

[–] randint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

huh, my standard f-droid client does show the file size

[–] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] TwinTusks@bitforged.space 6 points 5 months ago

Isn't keepass local?

[–] Napain@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago

keepass is local

I mean, it is as trustworthy as any for-profit company can be. KeePass is great if you have the technical knowledge and time required to set up and manage it properly.

[–] Napain@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

both of them you download and use, it requires the smae amount of technical knowledge. in fact you could argue, that proton pass takes more technical expertise since you need to set up a account online first.

Sure, if you're okay with losing all of your passwords when your phone dies. But that's not realistic.

If you don't you're going to have to find a way to back them up, which is considerably more convoluted.
