Yeah, my passwords was one of the first things I tried migrating. I've been very happy with keepass. Its file based instead of relying on a server, so as long as you have a way to sync your password DB between devices you can access it anywhere. I use nextcloud to sync it now. Before I used syncthing. You could use scp[1] even. The vault can be encrypted with a password, biometric device, or hardware key like yubikey. It can also hold more than just passwords, including things like payment information, totp codes, and more. > So I've been interested in -- and > testing because they often fail to work properly -- encryption tools. > Unfortunately > ccrypt doesn't have a reasonable Android tool. 7z, with some care > seems OK, but I've > more testing to do.

I'm not as familiar with encryption tools, I do have openkeychain installed on my phone to use for PGP encryption in K9Mail. You can also use it to encrypt/decrypt files as far as I know. Although there was that recent disclosures about security issues and PGP. I'm not knowledgeable enough about that to comment on it though. > > Presentation? Sure I can present about my experience trying FOSS apps that don't depend on google services if people are interested in it. BR, Lucas - [1] https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison
