Retroactive VS keepassxc

No need to keep Mojave to run iTunes — iTunes can be run on newer macOS, by using Retroactive [1] to patch it.

Regarding running a newer macOS on older hardware, check out OCLP [1] — do make sure you make full backups and have a working recovery plan before trying anything with OCLP though. I know that might sound somewhat obvious to a lot of folk, but you'd be surprised at the amount of folk that jump in and try OCLP on their main system without any backup plan.

Note that are some gotchas re installing OCLP on some older h/w, and it will help to read up on possible issues before wading in. e.g. during installation it might be necessary to use a wired keyboard and mouse, via a USB hub, until the installation is done, you might also need a wired network connection during install, similarly. Depends on h/w (I've not patched MacBooks myself, yet). Once the patcher is done, these should not be needed anymore.

Official support for OCLP is only via Discord — but there is a very active unofficial peer/user support group on FB [3]

HTH!

Or use Retroactive.

That said, my 2020 Mac Mini M1 also works great with the USB iPods - I used an app called Retroactive to get iTunes 11.4, which works fabulously to load my iPods. Can't say how well it works with the Firewire iPods, as I don't have all the requisite Thunderbolt adapters to make it work.

There's a project called Retroactive https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive/ that lets you install iTunes 10-12 on Catalina and newer OS. You could do that and still keep your playlists, etc.

you can run Aperture on newer Macs https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive/ just in case you want to check.

KeepassXC supports exporting, but i don't think it is released in a stable version / to the public yet:

If you use KeePass, make sure you use the KeePassXC variant. KeePass is dead.

https://keepassxc.org/

That's why you use the superior one, KeePassXC, as linked in the NIST link: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/discussions/9433

Over there, they got pissed about people constantly bugging them about it and closed the bug with the last comment reading:

for the internet, use a password manager like keepassxc with a strong password.

Another regression is that KeePassX/C AutoType doesn't work with Wayland, so now instead of a simple CTRL+V in KeePassXC, I have to separately copy and paste the user and the pass.

That's really a shame, I know keepassxc has (recently) added support for passkeys, but does it also support import/exporting them? I only found this comment[0] in the github issue.
