What do you use for syncing your password manager between your Android phone and your PC? Apparently Nextcloud doesn’t support two-way syncing on Android for some reason, and Syncthing-Fork is still untrustworthy since the disastrous handover. The AI generated profile picture of researchxxl doesn’t exactly inspire confidence either, neither does his GitHub bio:

Hi! My name is Jonas and I like to use my coding skills from games and modding to continue work on the Syncthing for Android wrapper.

Everything about this person screams vibe coder.

Bitwarden is an alternative, but I don’t like how non-standard it is. It’s cumbersome to manage and backup, meanwhile the KeePass format is just a file that I can backup wherever and however I want and there are many frontends to choose from.

Have you solved this?

    Yes, it is two factor, it’s just that there is no additional factors required to get the TOTP.

    If you don’t use a password manager then you just remember your passwords. In this case the second factor is having access to a device that has your TOTP generator.

    If you use keepass then you remember the password for your password db, and to access your passwords or TOTP you need access to a device with your keepass db.
