This allows you to copy and paste usernames and passwords from an opened KeePass database to the app or webpage where they are needed.
#KEEPASSXC ANDROID ANDROID#
Most Android password managers (including most KeePass ports) work using Android’s built-in clipboard function. This is not as secure as K2A keyboard solution but does minimize the problem. For anyone who is wary of Google, I recommend using either KeePass DX or KeePass Droid instead.īoth of these apps are available from F-Droid and mitigate the clipboard problem with a clipboard timeout. We are comfortable with the trade-off between this risk and the advantages listed above.
#KEEPASSXC ANDROID UPDATE#
This means that, in theory, Google could slip malicious code into an update at any time. The main downside of K2A is that it is only available via the Google Play Store, and is therefore updated via Google Play Services. Both of these advantages are related to K2A's custom keyboard feature (see below).
#KEEPASSXC ANDROID MANUAL#
Recommendation before reconnecting make a backup of the windows side and make a manual database merge. Data loss of new edited entries in windows possibleĭuring longer downtime KeepassXC needs a manual merge database if entries were changed on both sides. KeepassXC just loads new Database (if windows was disconnected).Keepass2Android asks to merge entries or reload database (if android was disconnected).Just tested what happens with my sync combination, when there is a disconnection time while directly accessing dropbox file.Ĭase: change happend simultanously on windows (KeepassXC) and on Android (Keepass2Android) Even if only an unimportant note/favicon/url entry is changed Just beware that an entry change is any change to an entry. It should only update and import the latest entry changes instead of a complete file overwrite by Syncthing. This would even merge two Databases that have different entry changes. Or instead of keeshare a manual "merge from Database" (just over import/export menu point ) Alternatively keeshare could be tried out with a master file. Recommendation syncing should be done one way if done manually. Keepass2Android is set to check if the file is modified externally before an entry change. KeepassDX looks a bit nicer, but Keepass2Android is a good alternative and seems more mature.Ĭurrently "live" syncing with Keepass2Android (over dropbox KP2A-Folder) and having that file opened with KeepassXC (and have the setting active that the file gets reloaded on change). Otherwise "sync" seemed to work fine too. No biggy, since it was just tried out between file copies. When i tried Android/Windows sync (over dropbox), KeepassDX seems to have deleted/cleared "additional urls" after updating an auto-fill entry.
