I think a table; something like this would be prudent. I only know about FPM2 as that is what I use, would be interesting in seeing a summary of alternatives.
Password Manager
Supports snycing
Features
FPM2
No
Cipher: ACS-256
- Generates passwords up to 255 characters long, with options for
numbers, symbols and avoiding ambiguous characters (1 and I etc.)
- Password categories and filtering
- Search on typing
- Store addition reference information (url, notes, username)
- Password launchers
- Copy password to Primary selection or clipboard without showing it.
- Can use a key file
- Export/Import passwords to/from XML for moving between managers
About syncing, I use Mega.nz, because client side encryption, but some
inbuilt syncing system would be better, ideally peer to peer, so it
never leaves my devices.
