While providing the best that password managers have to offer in terms of features and customization. The combination of KeePass desktop clients and KeePass2Android gives users great password-storing functionality.
However impractical this may be, it would offer a level of physical security that is unsurpassed, and nevertheless available as an option when using KeePass2Android. You could even go so far as to purchase a micro-USB or USB-C to full-size USB (USB-A) adapter, and use this to plug in your key file every time you need to access a password, albeit a less practical solution.
#KEEPASS VS. KEEPASSX VERIFICATION#
This allows the user to leverage any seemingly "random" file as a second-step verification method, regardless of whether the key is saved locally or remotely. More practical for mobile devices though, the key may be stored on cloud storage, a remote computer, or anywhere on the device being used to access the database – the location of which is mapped by the user each time the database is opened. Ideally, the key file would reside on a USB flash drive, essentially creating a mobile, physical key to decrypt the user’s key database. Such features include: allowing users to create new databases, generate secure passwords, utilize “key files,” and access databases and key files through FTP, SFTP, HTTP/S, local storage, and cloud storage, among others. Best of all KeePass2Android gives you access to all of KeePass/X’s core features, as well as a few extras.
#KEEPASS VS. KEEPASSX MANUAL#
Adding passwords on either program elicits almost immediate database updates across both, though a manual refresh is required.
Using KeePass2Android in tandem with KeePass or KeePassX is a breeze. This caveat aside, Keepass2Android is every bit as packed with features and functionality to fine-tune your preferred level of security, plus the added ability to utilize a key file, and host your own password database. This is especially important considering that this relatively easy-to-fix annoyance is the only feature Lastpass truly has over KeePass2Android. It is important to bear in mind the scale of the team behind a company like Lastpass – which offers premium enterprise-level password-keeping solutions – versus the developer(s) behind KeePass2Android. In totality, these steps are a minor inconvenience in the endeavor for security, but still an issue of fluidity which apps like Lastpass have avoided.
