1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

shouldn't you have switched to Bitwarden?

i am on bitwarden, and i want to switch to keepass, but i am dreading syncing the database between my phone and my PC.

Unfortunately Bitwarden might not be as super of a choice as it was https://howmation.com/en_US/blog/article/bitwarden-2026-what-really-changes they're slipping into private equity.

At some point they'll stop supporting Vaultwarden, at that point anyone with skin in the game should 100% get out.

No, he shouldn't have switched to Bitwarden. Why the fuck do people keep recommending cloud shit instead of Keepass?

I don't know where this weird trope of thinking Keepass is somehow obsolete or inferior came from, because it isn't.

Keepass is great it if's just you. If you're sharing with a family, it's ill-equipped.

Sharing = putting the file on shared storage (Syncthing, Nextcloud, SMB, Git, etc.)

No per‑item permissions

No audit logs

No user roles

No built‑in conflict resolution

You can use Syncthing to synchronize the database file between your devices. It's kinda neat tbh.

i never heard about it. but i will definitely look into it, thanks ❤️

Don't fear it. Syncing is easy. Keepass, in its various forms, has great merging support.

Can't you just do an export from BitWarden and import into KeePass?

[-] KullumDaue@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

what i meant was syncing my phone and my pcs keepass databases.

i used to use google drive for that (storing the database on the drive), but i didn't like it.

[-] captcha_incorrect@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I've had success on android with Syncthing. I had it installed on every device I needed the DB on and then a server that was always online to make sure each device had the latest version.

I have an iPhone now and Möbius Sync does not work as well (I think iOS limits background activity). My solution was to access access my DB via ssh (Strongbox has an option for this, Strongbox is KeepassXC but for Apple).
