    KeePassXC is a cross-platform community-driven port of the Windows application “Keepass Password Safe”.

    One thing I like about the original KeePass is that it uses Secure Desktop API on Windows, which makes it very difficult for malware to intercept your password as you enter it if you are infected.

    I wish KeePassXC would implement this functionality on Windows. Seems there is an open issue:

  • keepass-diff

    A CLI-tool to diff Keepass (.kdbx) files. Useful, if syncing with Dropbox or NextCloud and getting multiple files due to conflicts.

    The sync conflicts happened to me whenever I left keepass databases open and changed it on multiple devices. Usually, those changes were adding new accounts into the databases or changing a password on one while adding something on the other. This regularly happened when working in a team.

    I assumed people would switch from Keepass + database synced on a private server to something else when they started working in teams and need better/easier permission models. :)

    As you have mentioned it, I have written the tool keepass-diff (<https://github.com/Narigo/keepass-diff/>) to help me for exactly these conflicts and I could quickly resolve the issues with it. It was still useful enough to let me keep using Keepass. Was it not working for you or was it too hard to use because of how it needs to be set up first? Would you have stayed with Keepass + sync if something similar to this was integrated into UI clients?

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • tessen

    an interactive menu to autotype and copy pass and gopass data

    Looks like a known issue.

    I'm considering adding support for keepassxc in tessen but autotype works only on wlroots based compositors like sway right now.
