In the latest episode of "they will always sell you out" - they sold you out! Who would've thought.

Hoping for a good alternative client to appear, the writing is on the wall. Vaultwarden can't exist without "leeching" off of Bitwarden.

Merge conflicts are a concern for KeePass, especially for those that don’t want to resolve them. Sync is difficult. AFAIK this is a very common issue with Syncthing setups.

Also, the portability from Bitwarden to KP leaves a bit to be desired, though that’s probably 90% on BW.

    I've been using KeePass with Syncthing for 5+ years now and I think I've only had a sync issue once in all this time.

    Granted I do make sure I only use the database on one device at a time (so not making edits on desktop and my phone at the same time) and I'm using XC and DX clients not the OG KeePass program.

    I'm curious what is causing sync issues to make it "common", I use my db every day.

    Yeah, it’s not an uncommon use case to accidentally or even intentionally edit the database on two online devices - I do it all the time when I want a new login to be used on my laptop right after I signed up for some new website on my PC, and the laptop just happens to have an “unpushed” change from last evening, or I edit the new login’s metadata, or whatever.

    With this, I’d have to keep a mental model of the versioning of each database and avoid even touching my phone like the plague if KeePass is open on my computer.

    It’s not that big of a deal, it’ll probably be a problem once every few months, but it’s annoying to keep track of and worth talking about.

    Hmm, I'll have to play around with it a bit more then to see if I can trigger it.

    My only gripe is the browser autofill. Sometimes it triggers correctly and sometimes it doesn't. I've noticed if I let KeePass add in a new login itself after I've manually entered it then it's much more receptive to suggesting that login correctly going forward. So I'm tempted to create a brand new database and login everything manually so KeePass will create the database entries itself to fix my gripe.

    I'm using Keepass2Android (and KeepassXC). It can copy the database from/to an sftp server, so it can easily merge the entries. I don't have the sftp server exposed to the Internet, because when I'm not home, nobody will change the database at home.

    It's really not that much of an issue. I sync my database between several devices, some of which are only used occasionally. Rarely do I ever have a merge conflict.

    If you're editing the database on multiple devices before they have a chance to sync with each other, maybe stop doing that. That's what causes merge issues.
