Apple is launching its own password manager app

I've been using KeePassXC on Mac and Windows and sync them between each other with Unison[1]. I'd be curious to learn how others who are using KeePassXC are syncing there databases with iPhone.

Dropped 1Password for Strongbox a few weeks ago, really impressed with it.

As a sidebar, Keepass is so good that I don't understand why you wouldn't use it. 1password is bloated and annoying, Bitwarden is finnecky even when you do get it working, but Keepass Just Works.

Keepass is the closest I've ever felt to just having a wallet for my passwords. It should be ratified as a standard, so we can make Google and Apple provide "Export to Keepass" buttons in their apps.

I use the Passlane CLI for accessing and managing my passwords. Passlane stores the data in a keepass file that I have in Dropbox so that I can access it from multiple devices. On my phone I access it with Keepassium.

Check Passlane here (I’m the author of it): https://github.com/anssip/passlane

Very cool!

Would it make sense to use this for storing keys used other shell scripts?

Does it support hardware keys?

About using it for storing keys of other shell scripts/commands: What kind of special functionality this would require? Would you like to, for example, use passlane to extract the password of some script and then pipe it to that script? Perhaps adding that kind of functionality would make sense.

Well say I have U&P or API keys for some network service and I have a little shell script that automates it. I can save the auth info in the script or in a ~/.keys/ file or something and the file system permissions are all that's protecting them.

If my script could retrieve a password from my KeePass DB if it's unlocked, or ask me to unlock it, that would be cool.

Yes, makes sense! I would need to change it to output only the password without all the extra info that only makes sense for humans - could work in this script mode when provided with an additional command line option.
