Current version won't work with my two iPhone 4S' because they're stuck at iOS7. I've come across many apps like this, including even 1Password.


First, it's easy to push the need to update to a new version by introducing new features that only work with newer iOS versions due to API changes. kdbx-compatible apps seem at best creepy from a quick glance, either ad-supported (yuck!) or seemingly fly-by-night.Ĭlick to expand.But this is purely due to convention, not technical reasons. StrongBox' perpetual license appears to be an IAP, while KeePassium is a separate version, so it seems that StrongBox' implementation seems slightly better (can't abandon the perpetual licenses only by abandoning the perpetual licensed version of the app). They're close to the same price as each other, and both offer a perpetual license in addition to yearly at much less than 1Password. StrongBox and KeePassium are the paid ones that seem to be mentioned most frequently. kdbx-compatible iOS apps are probably what I'm most interested in, so does anyone have any thoughts on them? It looks like their perpetual license is gone now. I don't currently need Android support, but knowing whatever solution works there would be nice since I do have to help friends/family members with Android occasionally and I'd like to at least know the password manager system I personally use works on Android as well for recommendation reasons.ġPassword would require exporting my database (doable) and switching all apps I use (not a problem per se), but at $36/year for just me it's a bit expensive. Since I want to keep it accessible on Windows, the Apple Keychain isn't a solution. I don't quite trust cloud only solutions like LastPass (too big a target if they slip up even a little in their security implementation), and they only work if you have an internet connection (I usually do, but occasionally I'm in areas of poor/no data and no trustworthy wifi).


Since MacPass is working fine, KeePass itself is still being updated, and I've got a decent sized password database in KeePass format already, I'd prefer to find a replacement for just MiniKeePass. I've been using it in conjunction with MacPass and the official Windows KeePass for years, and now I need to find a replacement. Starting up MiniKeePass today, I was greeted with a doom&gloom message that MiniKeePass is dead and will disappear completely next year.
