![]() ![]() It would also be conceivable to access the database from certain devices with the KeePass2 client, and from others without installation via KeeWeb. KeeWeb is therefore much faster and simpler to implement than KeePass, but the existing Keepass plugins of the classic Keepass2 client are not compatible with Keeweb. If the database is stored with a cloud provider, it can be accessed directly in the browser from any client or mobile device, completely without installation. The data is stored in the browser's memory for the time being, but can also be stored in Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or on a WebDAV folder in addition to a local file. The Keepass files are compatible with the classic KeePass2 client and can either be opened from an existing KeePass file or created directly in Keeweb. KeeWeb is an alternative Keepass client which can be run directly in the browser without client installation. In all cases, however, the cloud provider's sync tool can be used in combination with a trigger in the KeePass client, see Trigger. Google Drive has a sync plugin that can do the job, but only for Windows, not Linux. ![]() On Android, the app takes care of this in all cases. KeePass should be opened with a local copy of the database, and when it is saved, the changes are then synchronized with the cloud version. Mobile apps allow you to access the password database from your smartphone or tablet.įor the following implementation examples, I tested the operating systems Windows, Linux, and Android as well as the two well-known cloud storages Google Drive and Dropbox.įor database synchronization, the implementation should look something like this: At this point, please do not panic: If the file falls into the wrong hands, it will be worthless without the associated master password. To make KeePass cloud-ready, the file can be synced via any cloud provider (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, NextCloud). Unlike LastPass, KeePass does not store the password database with a cloud provider, but in a local file. To achieve the same comfort as with Lastpass, KeePass requires a bit more steps, but KeePass always remains under its own control, since the password database can be placed on any storage. With the right configuration or extensions, passwords can be accessed from anywhere, and when using AutoFill, passwords are automatically suggested when KeePass is open. However, KeePass requires much less than, for example, a self-hosted Bitwarden installation. KeePass allows more leeway in implementation and setting options, or in the choice of plugins and apps, and therefore sometimes requires some planning. KeePass' implementation options range from offline use on a local drive or USB stick, to synchronization via a cloud provider. KeePass is flexible and offers more implementation options.KeePass is independent that it works on the local computer without any corresponding server services, yet the data can be synchronized via a cloud provider.KeePass, like Bitwarden, is free (not only the desktop program, but also extensions and mobile apps).Why KeePass and not a pure cloud solution like LastPass or Bitwarden?

You just copy the kdbx file to or from the documents folder of MiniKeePass under Apps within iTunes. My friend's got an iPad instead of an iPhone, but i don't see how that would make any difference. ![]() Same windows version, same iOS version, most current KeePass version (I actually tried both 1.x and 2.x), and the most current MiniKeePass version. I never had any problems with that - until i tried to install the set-up for a friend of mine. iTunes syncronizes, with which i mean that if i change the kdbx file on my laptop, the updated file will be copied to my iPhone with the next syncronization via iTunes. ![]() So what you describe is exactly what works excellent for my own iPhone / laptop combination. However, any subsequent changes done in KeePass on the Laptop will NOT be replicated to the iDevice. Yes, itunes sucks I am using JRiver Mediacenter to sync my iPod Classic with music, but for other devices iTunes works better.Īnyway, the problem is: with the first sync (after selecting the kdbx file within iTunes) will copy the current version from the laptop to the iDevice. ![]()
