Hey folks! I know a while back there was a kerfuffle because syncthing-fork for Android went dark, and then a new person showed up and claimed everything was cool and they’d been privately given the keys or something, and people were concerned. I pinned my fdroid version to the at-that-time-current release until we got clarity.

Well, it’s been a while and I just noticed I’m still on that old release. So… how’d it turn out? Do we like the new person yet? Is there a promising fork y’all are using? Or is the project dead? I’m sure I could just go look at the repo, but I’m also sure the repo would tell me “yeah, we’re all cool” no matter what, so I’m curious what the community feelings are. Have there even been any useful new releases since then?

Thanks!

    I’ve been super happy with Bitwarden for years now. But with their new CEO being a big Private Equity guy, I am wary of the enshitification risk.

    I’ve been looking for an alternative that works on both Android and other platforms. I use my phone for a lot of random stuff, so my password manager working on my phone is essential.

    Has KeyPassDX been good? Does it work with the same password database as KeyPassXC?

      KeepassDX is great, works most of the time finding fields in Firefox. Can use biometrics to unlock your database if desired too.

      Uses the same databases as I use on my laptop / desktop with no issues.

      Yeah they use kbdx so it works out of box for both. I think it even technically works for the original Keepass.

      Haven’t used KeyPassDX much yet outside of some quick tests, but the autofill is really good because it shows up as a slim popup tab option on your keyboard where the typeing suggestions usually go.
