I’m currently using Apple’s included password manager with Apple Keychain. Obviously, this works well among my Apple devices, but I would consider adopting a solution that supports Linux as well, preferably self-hosted, and definitely not requiring a cloud service or payment. Keepass might be the answer. From: 'Andrew' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com>

Subject: Re: Passwords and Passkeys Sabahattin, Would Strongbox be too complex a solution for an ordinary, non-geek user? Also,would it be too technical to synchronise its use with KeePass on Windows? I use both platforms. Many thanks for your comments - I find them interesting.

Subscription, Electron apps everywhere, and the loss of data sovereignty. I respect their choice to go off down the path of pleasing enterprise, and to be sure it’s still all pretty accessible, but really, I can’t in good conscience pay a subscription for managing and accessing data that’s mine. The reason you use a password manager is simply to liberate your passwords from the proprietary control of a single vendor. Even BitWarden, another client-server password manager with a web extension for autofill, can be self-hosted, using the excellent VaultWarden server. But nothing compares with a genuinely native solution, and Strongbox supports Apple’s native platform APIs for both the UI and autofill in Safari beautifully. And, even though Strongbox now supports their own proprietary sync service, I already had a setup for remotely reaching my NAS over sftp, for simple syncing, which is arguably the hardest part about using KeePass-based options, especially on iOS. So it was goodbye to 1Password. I can recommend it to the geek who wants it all and isn’t afraid to make a few little sacrifices in convenience. > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list. > > If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. > > Your Mac Visionaries list moderator is Mark Taylor.
