How do you sync your passwords?
Maybe I'm old school, but I don't want a local appliance of sorts or external app host to my passwords. I use https://pwsafe.org/ install the app on whatever device I want. Keep the database file in G Drive so it will always sync or can manually download if needed without installing G Drive. The latter I've not had to do though.

Password management after death

- Hey guys, in light of the recent last pass breach, I'm curious about your thoughts on using password managers without inputting the site's URL or name. Do you think this provides an extra layer of safety? Let's discuss!

My husband put an air tag in my vehicle. The count is up to 3 air tags now.
My father literally writes cryptography protocols. He's the guy with unique, 32 character alpha-numeric passwords for everything, to the point he has to look them up any time a service updates and loses the login information. He uses a password safe. Literally, it's called Password Safe. It's open-source, looks like it was written in 1995, and perfect. Just don't forget the password to the safe, because you're not hacking your way in.

How do you folks make it so you remember all the passwords to all the systems and services you run?
Personally I use PasswordSafe4 and I backup my password files on my phone and I email myself the file every so often.

KDE Plasma 6.0 Is Enabling Wayland by Default
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.
