IS it considered safe to store your database on dropbox and your keyfiles on your local machine? If someone got your password AND your database from dropbox, would they be able to open the database or would they still need that keyfile? I wasnt sure if the keyfile was actually part of the encryption or if it was just a program feature that could be circumvented. Pass itself is not very perfect for people who don’t like CLIs. While KeePass is a bit more difficult to use and of course, they don’t provide an official plugin for browsers. LastPass and Bitwarden are very easy to use and something I would suggest to my parents. Its also useful to store frequently used passwords under one database and all your other passwords in the hidden database under a different password so that if you leave one database open or someone key logs one of your passwords, you don’t lose everything!Īlso, I have a question about key files. All in all, all password safes are usable. Hidden databases would allow one to have a dummy database with only a few working, non-important passwords so that if they were forced to give up a password they could give up the dummy password which would appear to open the database, and it would be impossible for anyone to tell there was another database in there since its all just encrypted random data. How difficult would it be to add multiple algorithm encryption and “hidden” databases like Truecrypt uses? Since the file sizes are so small, any computer or phone should be able to encrypt the file multiple times over quickly using multiple algorithms (I’m assuming). That said, I have a suggestion for future releases. First let me say thank you for your work on this project.
