keepass2android VS git-credential-keepassxc

On Android, I use Keepass2Android [1]. It is open source, is updated frequently enough, and it's compatible with my Yubikey-backed databases.

Yubikey Challenge-Response for KeePassXC needs its own setting though, as KeePassXC made some design decision that is incompatible with KeePass, IIRC.

For the paranoid, there's always KeePass + cloud storage, which is also free. It's what I use. I tend to use KeePassXC, a cross-platform KeePass-compatible application that works on Linux, Mac, and Windows, and I use Dropbox free for my cloud storage, since it actually has a Linux client that works, no hassles, right out of the box. I use KeePassium on my iPhone, and there are plenty of Android KeePass-compatible apps out there, such as KeePassDX, which is open-source and, apparently, very nice. I USED to use KeePass2Android, which the community seems to still like, but I'd probably be using KeePassDX these days since it's fully open-source and available through F-Droid.

I use KeepassXC password manager[1], it keeps my TOTP information and makes it available to use on all my devices. It syncs between my devices using Dropbox. Kepassium[2] makes it available on iOS, and Keepass2Android[3] makes it available on Android. It also manages my SSH keys and adds them to the ssh-agent, even on Windows. and houses a backup of my GPG keys. I even found that it can manage my credentials for use in scripts and git using git-credential-keepassxc[4].

Similar functionality can be had from 1Password[5], of you're into the more fancy experience. As a bonus this approach makes it very easy to store all those backup codes that dotp services often give you. Won't help your current predicament but will prevent it from happening again :)

I remember reading there was some issues bringing the KeePass2Android offline version up to the regular KeePass2Android version: https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android/issues

Looks like keepass2android has had 3 updates in 2022 so far (the link is to the most recent).

The keepassxc CLI reopens the database separately; it's actually possible to use git-credential-keepassxc† to do the scripting instead because it acts more like a browser (so it interacts with the already running instance of KeepassXC).

I have https://github.com/Frederick888/git-credential-keepassxc which can probably make things easier...
