  • Having used KeePass for a few years, syncing via a self-hosted SFTP server, I can’t recommend it for most people.

    • It’s too technical, especially if you want sync, but even if you don’t
    • Apps on different platforms don’t quite agree with each other in all ways, making syncing a bit annoying (particularly: how to associate a login with multiple URLs)
    • It can be hard to pick which app to use on each platform, other than Windows, because there’s no official/canonical best option (Mono has lots of drawbacks)

    I’ve switched to Bitwarden and I’m sticking with it.








  • Multilingual users have multiple keyboard layouts, usually switching with Alt+Shift or similar key combo. If you’re multitasking you might not realize you’re on the wrong keyboard layout. So say you’re chatting with someone in Russian, then you alt+tab to your source code and you spot a typo - you wrote my_var_xopy instead of my_var_copy. You delete the x and type in c. You forget this happened and you never realized the keyboard layout was wrong.

    That c that you typed is now actually с, Cyrillic Es.

    What do you say, is that realistic enough?
