> the app ecosystem isn't quite as good, but is very very close,

It's interesting you say that. I've been looking at de-googling myself and getting off Android, but I cannot find a decent replacement in the App store for my password manager of choice (KeePass2Android, cos I use KeePass everywhere).

Other Apple owning friends of mine say I should be using whatever it is that iPhone supplies by default, but the problem is I want to de-google myself, not move entirely into Apple land, so having something which only works on the phone isn't going to fly. I've got Windows and Linux machines all over the place that I want my password manager to sync with.

Edit - spelling.



There are a few keepass clients for iOS, but most of them are pretty serious abandonware and don’t support newer features like autofill integration. https://keepassium.com/ is supposed to come out soonish, and will probably take the crown when it does. For now, your best option is probably https://strongboxsafe.com/. No affiliation or experience with either, but strongbox seems to be the favorite for now and keepassium looks like it’ll be better when it’s out.


Thanks for the pointer to keepassium - it does look a lot like what I'm after - I'll keep an eye on it!


Just a quick comment: I use MiniKeePass on iOS. It is not that nicely intergrated etc., but you can at least keep using your files etc. You will have to manage the file on your "cloud server" though, two-way-sync is not there yet.


Yes, this is more or less what I found - a reasonable number of implementations of apps which can read/write a keepass database, but sorely lacking in all the nice bells and whistles features that I like in the Android app.


It's not ideal to suggest wholesale replacing your trusted system, but I can recommend Bitwarden. It's open source, free with a premium option and has clients for iOS, Android, Linux, Windows, Mac as well as CLI options and browser integration.
