Ask HN: Password manager with user-defined cloud storage

11 pointsby BinaryBirdover 2 years ago
Hi, very disappointed with Lastpass, and no longer trusting any cloud password manager, so what are the options for a paid or open source password manager that:<p>1) has multi-platform, multi-device support, and<p>2) has the ability to store encrypted password vaults in user-defined 3rd-party cloud file storage like Backblaze, Cloudflare, Google Cloud Storage, AWS S3 etc. much like how Arq Backup and other backup software allow user-defined 3rd-party cloud storage.<p>Got any suggestions or experience with using any such password managers?

I do not personally use it, but I think keepassxc is one to consider given your needs:<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keepassxc.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;#faq-cloudsync" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keepassxc.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;#faq-cloudsync</a><p>2. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keepassxc.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;#faq-platform-mobile" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keepassxc.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;#faq-platform-mobile</a>

This one works from local files (no native cloud storage): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pwsafe.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pwsafe.org&#x2F;</a><p>If the local directory it uses is mapped (via appropriate means) to one of the above cloud providers (i.e., a &quot;dropbox&quot; style mapping) then the local encrypted file is also stored &quot;in the cloud&quot;.<p>Note also you could simply setup &quot;backup into cloud&quot; of the local file and achieve a similar result.<p>Here you will find a long list of compatible other variants: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pwsafe.org&#x2F;relatedprojects.shtml" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pwsafe.org&#x2F;relatedprojects.shtml</a> some of which are for multi-platform and&#x2F;or multi-device support.

You can self-host Bitwarden, export the encrpyted content via cronjob (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitwarden.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;cli&#x2F;#export" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitwarden.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;cli&#x2F;#export</a>) and then copy to the cloud file storage that you like the most.

Is there any evidence that 1Password is just as bad as Lastpass or is there a chance that they do things right? Anyone with insight here?<p>I&#x27;m not only thinking of myself but also my family. KeePass is not user friendly the way 1Pass is and that&#x27;s very important.
