KeePass: OpenSource Password Manager

Re:KeePass: OpenSource Password Manager by Fogest on Monday February 03, 2014 @10:52PM (#7175389)

If I save the database to dropbox so that I have it on multiple PC's at once, how can I ensure I do not overwrite a database that has new entries?

For example say on PC-A I make a change and save it. On PC-B I have the old database still opened and loaded in KeePass. What happens if I then save in PC-B without opening the database up? That means I just lost the one password?

I've had this experience with 2.x and as I recall, on machine B where the file was already open with unsaved changes, I was prompted to merge changes after Dropbox updated the file on disk. Without recalling the details, I was pretty impressed.

Ah okay. Did not know there was a merge function!

We use a source code repo to handle this. Not perfect but better than losing a password.

What if I am using a mobile device though?
