LastPass users warned their master passwords are compromised

For what it's worth, my attempt at using Keepass drove me away because the password database kept becoming conflicted, necessitating a merge. Keepass' options for dealing with conflicts were to "accept mine" or "accept theirs", but I'd often end up in situations where the conflict went sideways and I lost my login completely.

In the end I was running the conflict resolution command once every couple days.

Normally I wouldn't mind, but the only time the warning comes up saying that my db file is conflicted is when I need to enter a password in... which is the last time I want to be dealing with this.

This was Keepass with the db file on Dropbox, by the way. Not sure how Syncthing would handle it differently, but it wouldn't have anything to do with merging db files if they go out of sync.

I had this problem as well, these conflicts may happen when you keep Keepass clients open and add passwords on two different machines.

I have written a CLI tool in Rust called keepass-diff that may help you with this: https://github.com/Narigo/keepass-diff

This used to be a problem for me too, but later versions of Keepass happily syncs any conflicting databases. I use Syncthing to share my database.
