For context, in my password manager I had tried formatting some of my entrees so that it would contain the usual username and password, but instead of creating whole new entrees for the security questions for the same account, I just added additional fields in the same entree in order to keep things a little more tidy.

I was not expecting that doing so would result in later being shaken down by Proton to pay even more money just to access the same few bytes of fucking text I had trusted them with. This is sleazy as fuck and I am dropping these idiots entirely.

KeepassXC + Syncthing has worked fine for me for a few years. Sure, it’s a bit of a hassle and not exactly perfect, but nothing is. I have control over my data and I don’t have to pay anyone anything, that’s enough for me.

Also, tasty entrees 🤤

This is the route I’m taking. Keepass has always been tried and true. I switched from Keepass to Proton Pass for a while, and in more ways than this one complaint it has been very much a downgrade.

Proton does not know how to make quality software.

If you don’t host your own data, you don’t own it.

Hassle? What hassle? Adding a new device to the syncthing swarm and adding the folder where your database is stored?

I also have been using KeepassXC and syncthing for years. Best thing I have ever done!

I use a VPN and even if I allow local wifi sharing it messes with syncthing’s connections. It’s not a perfect system.
