Yes, that's exactly correct, just tell Strongbox to use the Dropbox integration to directly connect to your Dropbox account, whilst your Windows KeePass operates on the file created in your Dropbox folder. You've got it. And don't worry about the server: as long as you have backups of your datab

Again, I’d like to thank you for such a detailed response. I think it would be better initially to go with dropbox while I’m learning about servers and finding out a way of running one; I guess I’d have to run it on a NAS of some sort. This will take longer. But with Dropbox, I could set thin

I can’t speak to your skill level but there’s no doubt that Strongbox has many knobs for you to twiddle with. I like options, and although it’s certainly quite approachable (especially with the excellent documentation in hand), I think it’s fair to say that you’ll be investing time into your set

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.

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. Andrew > On 29 Sep 2024, at 07:11, 'Sabahattin

For password manager, I use Strongbox on both macOS and iOS. These use the KeePass format (KDBX), for which there exist tools and libraries for all platforms. I don’t know what an Android user would use, but on Windows you’d use KeePass (the original .net app, with plug-ins as desired). Why lea

A 2015 MacBook Air is considered obsolete by Apple, and is no longer supported. I think Monterrey is as far as you can go with it. You cannot update any farther. - Brad - On Sep 28, 2024, at 10:59, Jonathan Cohn wrote: I highly recommend that you attempt to find the funds to buy a Macintosh

I highly recommend that you attempt to find the funds to buy a Macintosh that does not have an Intel chip. Walmart was selling M1 MacBook Airs for under $600 a bit ago. But there is no easy way to push a 10 year old Macintosh to the current OS. Good luck! Jonathan > On Sep 25, 2024, at 12:25

Bear in mind that 1Password (which I am also happy to report having escaped, albeit to another password manager) will not export your passkeys. You will have to find the passkeys you do have (not in itself impossible, but still annoyingly tedious when I last did it), log in to each site with the
