Hi, I must respectfully disagree with your view that it takes too many
taps or keystrokes to use MiniKeepass. In fact, when I want to access a
web site for which I don't remember the password, I bring up the entry
in MiniKeepass and double-tap the password field. It's then copied
automatically to the clipboard where I can paste it into Safari's
password. If using the rotor to switch to edit and if double-pressing
home to bring up the app switcher and if typing in your password to
unlock your Keepass database is too many taps for retrieving secure
data, then I guess it's too many taps. Still though, security means a
lot to me and MiniKeepass for user names and passwords which I don't
have memorized is perfect. Same with social security numbers I may need
or account numbers, the list goes on. Your opinion isn't wrong, and
neither is mine. However it's fair to point out two differing view
points so others can make a better decision.

I've been using KeePass for years, and the first thing I installed on my
recently purchased iPod Touch 5th gen was MiniKeepass. What you want to do
will be a bit cumbersome as you will have to execute many steps to review
your information; let's not even get into entering new information. First
you will have to install KeePass on your desktop computer as you cannot
configure anything on MiniKeepass. Secondly, on your IOS device, depending
on the structure of your KeePass file, you may have to execute many steps
before accessing the information you would like to review. If you have the
time and patience to repeat this process over and over, this can be a good
solution, but I think after completing this process a few times you will
slowly begin to stop using it as its just too much to have to
navigate--especially in a noisy environment or in a situation where you need
the information quickly such as talking to the bank teller or on the phone.
MiniKeepass Pros:
*you will have all of your passwords safely backed up in a good safe outside
of your desktop.
MiniKeepass Cons:
*reviewing entries will take many key presses.
*entering new data will become a headache.
*manipulating MiniKeepass entries can become time consuming and a bit of a
chore.
*learning the desktop KeePass application will take a bit of time to learn
and setup properly.
with that said, and I'm conveying this information as my own experience
which many be different for you, please feel free to contact me if you need
any help setting this up, and I'll do my best! (Smile).

Protecting Folder on Dropbox
Thank you everyone for these fine suggestions. I have a lot to research.
In the meantime, I may have stumbled across my own solution. It is a
password manager Raul recommended months ago called MiniKeePass. I think
that I can simply enter the month as a general entry and day/date as the
individual entry. Then skip the username and password field and use the
notes field as the Journaling area. I haven't tested completely, but it
looks like you can get quite a bit in there. I don't know what the
restrictions might be. This would allow one to make entries or review them
from either and I device or PC.
Raul, if you read this and see any obvious restrictions, I would most
appreciate it. All thanks to everyone!
