Keepassxc

It's not bad, but there aren't all the useful addons that keepass has

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I actually hadn't realised keepass was still maintained.

I had a quick look and it seems keepass is a .net thing while keepassxc is cross platform.

What plugins do you use? Xc does everything I need.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Mainly otp generation (which I believe XC implements natively), ssh key agent, to lock ssh private keys inside databases and the Kee integration for browser completion from the database.

Then other small things I have just for fun, like generating QR code from some secrets because certain apps only take the secret as a qr code and plugins to generate passphrases

Hmm, all of that is available with xc. Even QR codes.

If's been a while I haven't used xc, I will look into it and see if that works for me. The only real benefit of xc compared to keepass is hidpi support because it doesn't use Mono on linux
