For a while I thought #PassKeys were like a tech hype thing so big tech could lock us into their ecosystems even more, and then I started looking into them and their advantage became far clearer to me. They still have a bunch of problems for people like me that change their devices frequently, at least in internet time.
I dislike the idea of being locked out of my stuff because my device is bricked, so I started looking for ways to use PassKeys with something like #KeePass databases. The bad news for us blind folk, the more accessible Keepass app doesn't have PassKey support. The far less screen reader friendly #KeePassXC has far better PassKey support, but, as I said before, not half as screen reader friendly as the OG KeePass is, unless I am missing something.
#StrongBox, which is accessible on iOS can work with PassKeys though. This way, you can't be tied to one device.

Only one post so far though, it's about syncing keepass between linux and a phone using nextcloud.

Eine heutige Diskussion rund um den #Strongbox Passwort Manager hat mich nachschauen. Lassen. Seit der Übernahme der App im März 2025 durch Applause gab es zwar Updates. Aber im Blog nicht mal eine „Willkommensnachricht“. Strongbox läuft bei mir rund. Aber Passwörter sind das heikelste im Online Bereich. Eine App braucht da großes Vertrauen. Ich werde mir die Situation näher ansehen und auch App Optionen überlegen.

Hello everbody!
I would like to hear some recent opinions about the password manager app #strongbox
I am more concerned than I was before, since there was the change in the ownership.. If #KeepassXC had a better integration for #Safari, it would be easier to switch 🙂

I've been using #1Password for over 12 years. The new version is giving me nothing but troubles, slow to unlock, etc. and they just announced quite a significant price increase to their subscription model.
I have until August to decide, but I'm considering #Strongbox with a lifetime license, or a combo of the Apple Password app and #Uplock (lifetime license). The Apple Password app is a bit of a pain to use on non AppleBrowsers though.

The price hike of #1password is something. The family subscription costs for 1 year now incl. tax nearly as much as a life-time unlock of #Strongbox Pro. I need to have a look again how feasible it is to move us all to Strongbox/KeepassXC (for the non-Apple devices).
