![]() ![]() I’ve been a user of KeePass for years on multiple OS. I’m really glad you’ve joined Martin and have enjoyed your contributions a great deal. Now you: Which password manager do you use? It is available in 2 versions: One which works offline, and another with cloud-storage sync. If you're an Android user, I can vouch for Keepass2Android. ![]() You can try the Pro features for free for 91 Days, if you like to. Given the lack of other KeePass clients, and the fact that I rarely search for passwords, I'm fine with the freemium model that Strongbox employs. The only other feature that the PRO version has is support for KeePass FavIcons.īut really, I'm nitpicking here. Strongbox Password Safe Pro supports Touch ID and PIN Code, i.e., you can use the fingerprint scanner on your iPhone or iPad or the screen unlock code, to quickly access your database. There are a couple of subsctiption options that you can opt-for, or a one-time fee for a lifetime license that unlocks this feature among others. Update: Search is now included in the free version of Strongbox. ![]() My only gripe with Strongbox is that the search database option is not available in the app for free. So, in case someone gains access to your device and tries to break in to your database, the app will protect your information by auto deleting them. It allows the application to delete all databases, local files, caches, etc that are related to Srongbox after a certain number of failed attempts. ![]() The best feature in the app is perhaps the App Unlock failure setting, which you can customize. There is a similar Database automatic locking option, but this one is pre-enabled. You can set it to as low as 30 seconds to a maximum of 3 minutes. The Auto clear clipboard option is a must use one, though it is disabled by default. It lets you set the autofill options for forms with a default username (can be your most used one), or custom username, and even lets you save a randomly generated password. There are some other useful options like the new entry defaults, that can also be useful for adding new entries. This can be handy if you are creating new accounts, or replacing old passwords. There is a gear icon in the top right corner of the Strongbox UI, which you can use to generate secure passwords. Password Generation, Auto clear clipboard and Advanced Options It will have the word Strongbox above it, and you're good to go. To use the feature, open any website where you have an account, hit the sign in option, and the keyboard should pop-up when you tap the login field. This allows you to use the app's autofill feature in Safari and other apps. Tip: Navigate to the iOS Settings > Passwords & Accounts > AutoFill Passwords and select Strongbox. It also displays some interesting options such as the total number of usernames, how many of those are unique, including the number of unique passwords, most used username, the database format, etc. This is where you can also manage the program's settings, which includes options to change your master password, export the database, etc. You can sort the list from the toolbar on the bottom. You can edit any of the fields or add a custom field using the "Edit" option. This includes the FavIcon of the website, the title of the login, your username and password (hidden by default, can tap to view), the URL for logging in to the account, and any metadata if available. The details of the selected account will be displayed on the right pane. The left pane has all your folders, and accounts which aren't stored in any folder. The app displays the information using a two-pane view. Once your database has been added to the app, tap on it to open the database. I wouldn't really advise using the "Allow empty password" option. You can optionally set the database to be accessed in read-only mode if you wish. For added security, always enable 2FA (Two-factor authentication) for your Dropbox/Google Drive/One Drive accounts. Just make sure you use a strong password. ![]()
