Any recommendations on how-to?

KeepassXC (desktop)/KeePassDX(mobile) on top of something like Syncthing or Nextcloud.

[-] OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try checking out both options. Unfortunately, I have an iPhone, so sadly there’s no KeepassDX. 🤔

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 months ago

I think there's probably a Keepass compatible iPhone app out there but I haven't vetted it. Worth looking for though.

Vaultwarden is what I use: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/

Their wiki is pretty good assuming you're comfortable with Docker.

Back before I self-hosted, KeePassXC for desktop and Keepass2Android for mobile (along with Synching to sync the database) got the job done.

Interesting, I’ll check it out, as it looks like it’ll cover what I need. Hopefully it’s simple enough, as always having an iPhone makes things more complicated lol.

I host for my family which has a mix of Android and iPhone. So far, no complaints about Bitwarden on iOS. Hopefully it works out for you. If self hosting becomes a problem, I think premium is only $10/year and family is up to 6 people at $40/year.

It doesn't have to be difficult.

Download keepass to your computer.
Keep the save file on a USB or private cloud backup.
Done!

As you get more comfortable with it, you'll start using it in more complex ways. Like having a phone app, connected to a self hosted network. But keep it simple for now.

This might be a good idea for my family, they definitely prefer a K.I.S.S. approach lol.

If you wanna use KeePass, you just have to store your database in some secure location. It can be on your local drive or in the cloud, any location you trust really.

Guessing it’s suggested to use a small flash drive and keep it hidden somewhere?

[-] Nighed@sffa.community 3 points 9 months ago

You can set the encryption strength though, so I guess you could set it high and could even have it untrusted.

Mine takes a while to open on my phone because of that
