In November 2022, the password manager service LastPass disclosed a breach in which hackers stole password vaults containing both encrypted and plaintext data for more than 25 million users. Since then, a steady trickle of six-figure cryptocurrency heists targeting security-conscious people throughout the tech industry has led some security experts to conclude that crooks likely have succeeded at cracking open some of the stolen LastPass vaults.

    KeePass has its vulnerabilities too. The good thing though is that it is not networked so one has to break into your device or your backups to even start an attack.

      Exactly. Every password manager has its vulnerabilities, so there’s always a trade-off between different security measures. The lack of networking is KeePass’s big draw.

        The big issue I have is syncing. Do you happen to know if there are any differencing tools keepass.

        I like to have only various subsets of my data on some devices and accounts. So way to partition, difference, and merge would be nice.
