Proton is great but I do feel wary from putting all my eggs in one basket again.

Bitwarden also has better features for now like more solid URL matching (handy if you have a bunch of services on subdomains of the same domain name).

Hey what type of URL matching do you use for achieving this? BW suggest me all the entries for a domain and doesn’t differentiate sub domains.

I discovered not too long ago that Bitwarden has the same integration! https://bitwarden.com/blog/add-privacy-and-security-using-email-aliases-with-bitwarden/

You need to configure it on each device though, and you need to generate an API key first.

I was just about to write this… Proton is cool, but I only use mail from them. All my other services are independent from each other, and soon I will be self hosting most of them.

I’m switching from privatevpn to protonvpn just for the port forwarding with wireguard within a terminal, no stupid GUI app. Quite pleased with the service, they do VPN well.

Avoid why?

Because we only know what the client does, and have no clue on the server side of things, allowing Proton to do any manipulations with the data. Not ideal when you consider it for password storage.

Yeeeeees. If you’re orienting your company as the privacy-alternative it’d be great to emphasize support for the main privacy-oriented OS. I get that developers don’t grow on trees, but this seems like a pretty crucial feature that should be prioritized.

I mean, I recently switched to Proton knowing what I was getting into, but I’d really like to see this happen soon.

On their GitHub:

Supported cloud providers Celeste can currently connect to the following cloud providers:

Dropbox Google Drive Nextcloud Owncloud pCloud Proton Drive WebDAV

That’s pretty cool all things considered I didn’t think a 3rd party client could be made for drive

I tried this before and it was very unreliable when used with WebDAV.

I’ll still stick with bitwarden, but if I were to introduce someone very tech illiterate, I would probably recommend proton

I’m tech illiterate and been using Bitwarden for 3 years (premium), and honestly it doesn’t work very well on Android. Every time I need to enter a password, it’s completely hit-or-miss with Bitwarden. Half of the time it doesn’t even pop up. I’m using Xiaomi phone and tablet with stock rom (global version).

Should I switch to Proton?

Before switching you should maybe read this and wait for the native app : https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/1b32bbz/going_native_the_future_of_the_bitwarden_mobile/

Wow thanks, I have no idea. That’s great news. I’ll definitely wait for the native app. But in the meantime I’ll try out Proton as a “backup” just in case something bad happens to Bitwarden or my personal vault.

I have the same issue with Keepass2Android. I think the issue is with Android itself rather than the password app.

Install the keyboard autotype plugin for Keepass2Android!

Sometimes you have to long press on the password box and bitwarden might appear or a little “autofill” option may appear along in the 3 vertical dots pop up. Most of the time, Bitwarden auto pops up for me.

I feel like if you’re already using Bitwarden and you’re talking to us on Lemmy, you’re not tech illiterate.

Try the free version and switch to premium if you like it better than bitwarden.

In terms of “Free version”, what would be better? What would you recommend if I were to use one as Premium (daily use) and the other as Free (for backup purpose)?

Same problem on 1password.

As a mobile developer I can tell you that working with Android keyboards has been a giant fucking pain in ass since inception to today.

While I can’t speak specifically to why they both seem to have this problem, I wouldn’t be surprised if the OS is part of the problem.

I wouldn’t be shocked that if someone had it working consistently, it might be because of the most heinous hacks, or private greylisted APIs or some other nonsense.

I do remember trying several different keyboard apps, but none works consistently enough and some don’t even work at all.

I’ll take KeepassXC and KeepassDX + SyncThing, just works and I don’t have to ever rely on someone else for my most sensitive data.

This. At least until i find a better solution than syncthing. But keepass(xc) all the way.

I tried Google Drive, and also Seafile. the catch is that it needs to sync the files to your phones local file system. You could also do Next cloud or use Folder sync. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite

Problem is, i want to exclude third parties. I’d prefer a direct heavily encrypted connection directly to my server. Definitely not a cloud somewhere, especially not google & co.

Nextcloud is way too blown up and vulnerable for me. I really only need file-synching. Got servers working for the other stuff like caldav.
