Enpass open source alternative.

RLFontan

Hey guys what's up?

I never use these software to store password, but i feel like now i need one. I see the Software Center of Solus have one called Enpass, but probably would be better to use a open source one right? Which one you guys recommend?

Ty!

I use keepassx

I like that you can require multiple methods of authentication if you want, such as password + keyfile (mine is on a usb drive) to access the password database. So knowing only 1 of the authentication methods gets you nothing.

Harvey I found it quite complicated to use... there is nothing more easy?

RLFontan I tried the KeePassXC... idk if it was the right one.

Hmm.. Bitwarden seems nice, but it's not availabe in Solus software center. So, its availabe in Appimage and Snap...

Personally I use KeepassXC (it's just keepassx in our repo, but it's the community fork) and sync the kbdx file via Nextcloud.

KeepassXC is ready for an update to 2.4.1 for the repo.

JoshStrobl Josh, I think I'm not understanding. Is keepassx dependent on mono install and the XC not dependent on mono? Not like I really know the difference but I thought mono is a "windows" thing and not required in linux. Can you shed some learning light on that subject please? Maybe we could eliminate one or the other app based on good info; less upkeep? Oh, one other thing - compatibility with the mobile side such as keepass2android and web storage of the database on for instance Tresorit for up&download / syncing is important issue too.

+1 for keepassXC

RLFontan

Hmm, im trying to understand how de keepassXC works... i create a entry and then a put my passwords on the "notes" section?

JoshStrobl

RLFontan No, you put your password in the two password fields. If you're generating a password when creating an entry then it'll fill both.

Enpass is very nice though. It has nice modern UI + usability and features. Sadly its not open source 😕

I used to use Keepass on Windows, continued using it on Solus, but some months ago I switched to KeepassXC since it simply works better.

I use KeepassXC on Solus and Keepass2 on my Windows PC at work. They both sync over Nextcloud.
