KeePass

## KeePass [KeePass](https://keepass.info/) is an open source password application that is available cross-platform: Windows, Linux, MacOSX, Android. There is a difference between Version 1 (.kbd) and Version 2 (.kbdx) databases. Currently, I am using the following: * Windows - [KeePass Password Safe Portable](https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/keepass_portable) - Secure, easy-to-use password manager * Linux - [KeePassX](http://keepassx.sourceforge.net/) * MacOSX - [KeePassX](http://keepassx.sourceforge.net/) * Android - [KeepassDroid](http://www.keepassdroid.com/) * To look at [KeePassXC](https://keepassxc.org/) * Peter Smittenaar - [KeePass, why and how to use it effectively](http://www.petersmittenaar.com/keepass-why-and-how-to-use-it-effectively.php) ### KeePassDroid and Google Drive work Perfectly Ref: (https://plus.google.com/+JudeHansen/posts/Yp99hWQdKwh) Until recently I used KeePassDroid in combination with Dropbox to keep my password files sync'd between my desktop and my Android phone so I always had my passwords with me. This works fine with Google Drive as well. Here's how to set it up: 1. Install Google Drive on your desktop and phone. Install KeePassDroid on your phone. 2. Copy (or create a new one) your KeePass Database (the .kdbx file) into Google Drive for syncing. 3. Open your desktop version of KeePass Password and open your database from the new Google Drive location so it knows where to access it from now on. 4. On your Android phone, open Google Drive. On the .kdbx file, use the file menu to select **'make available offline'** 5. Use the file menu again to select 'Open with' then select KeePassDroid. 6. In KeePassDroid, you'll be asked to enter your password. On this screen, select 'Make this my default database' and log in. 7. That's it! You should see your passwords now and every time you open KeePassDroid. Nice! ### Sync local Files/Folders with Google Drive Use Sync to be able to have the file offline when required. * [Windows/MacOSX](https://www.howtogeek.com/228989/how-to-use-the-desktop-google-drive-app/) * Linux - no official sync program exists, but you can use the following: * HowToGeek: [Gnome-Control-Center](https://www.howtogeek.com/196635/an-official-google-drive-for-linux-is-here-sort-of-maybe-this-is-all-well-ever-get/) ### Alternatives to Google Drive HowToGeek [Alternatives to Google Drive](https://www.howtogeek.com/130465/4-alternatives-to-google-drive-for-linux/)
