![]() But that said, given the sheer number of logins (74, not including work) I have to manage, multiple machines, the (hopeful) coming addition of Linux into the mix, and my distaste for Dropbox, I’ve got some things to tackle.ġPassword doesn’t work on Linux: I’m hoping to switch from Mac to Linux at home (likely System76). Like, these problems aren’t that I’m leaking passwords everywhere or one of the services I’ve been using was hacked (that I know of at least). And I’d advise you to use one! Problems with my current setupįor the most part, I think I’ve been handling my shit pretty well. If you’ve never used a password manager before I’d strongly advise you read this guide from Martin Shelton (who is a user researcher!) first. I say this mostly to tell you that I’m not a security researcher or anything like that– just a normal internet user who’s comfortable on the command line, uses Neovim, and has written some shitty Ruby in the past. I have both of these databases backed up on at least one of device, but I do this backup manually whenever I think to do it.ĭisclaimer before we get into this: I’m a social media editor. I have one KeePass database at home for important personal information (banking, some back up codes, etc.) and another separate database at work for important work logins. Granted, this might not be normal but that’s where I’m at. I use KeePassX (though I’m flirting with moving to KeePassXC) for storing more important information that I’m too paranoid to trust to 1Password and Dropbox. This means that my password database lives on my Dropbox account (though it’s still actually lives on somebody else’s computer). I use 1Password with Dropbox by purchasing the license rather than pay a regular fee to 1Password (I took some brief notes when I set it up in 2015). I’ve been storing most usernames and passwords using 1Password, since I can easily access it on my iPhone and I have the Chrome extension installed at home, making signing in that much easier. ![]() Leave the 'Trigger name' field empty (or enter this trigger's name 'DropboxSync' if you don't want to reactivate all).For the last year and a half I’ve been using both 1Password and KeePassX to manage my passwords.SmartPhone (Android with Keepass2Android).I synchronise between 3 devices with Drop-Box: Have your local file synchronised to Drop-Box, so you always have a local copy to find your Drop-Box password. Perform these steps on all PCs that you will sync with Dropbox.Set Dropbox to synchronize the database in the Dropbox sync directory.In the 'New state' field change the state to 'On'.C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\My Documents\DropboxSync\MyDatabase.kdbx Enter the full path and name of your copy of the KeePass database in the 'File/URL' field, e.g.Select 'Synchronize active database with a file/URL'.In the 'New state' field change the state to 'Off'.Navigate to the 'Action' tab and add a new action.If you only want to sync a certain database, set the 'File/URL - Comparison' to 'Equals' and the 'File/URL - Filter' field to the required database file path.Navigate to the 'Events' tab and add an event.Call it something meaningful, like "Prevent data loss by Dropbox".Open KeePass and navigate to 'Tools' -> 'Triggers.'.Copy (do not move) the KeePass database you want to sync to the new directory.Note: Do not use the current database location, you must have 2 copies of the database. C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\My Documents\DropboxSync Create a new directory to use for the Dropbox synchronization, e.g.Here is a copy of the "how to" (but you should have a look at the link to read "how it works") It synchronizes entries between files (as the dropbox will be overwritten by dropbox).I am using Keepass on my local storage and with the help of a trigger it is synchronized with dropbox.
