I am in the process of updating all my passwords to fully randomized generated passwords. I've used in the past Password Agent to manage passwords, but when we acquired smartphones I switched to KeePass and MiniKeePass in concert with dropbox hosting the database itself. This has worked, but is really a clunky process for mobile. It's never been simple, but with iOS 9.3.3, I have to open Dropbox, click on the file, click the 3 dots at the top, click Export, select Open in..., then choose Copy to MiniKeePass. I don't mind complexity if it helps create more security, but these don't contribute in any way.
There are a lot of password managers out there that store the database in their own cloud, and maybe even some are multi-platform. In the interest of making things as secure as I reasonably can, I would prefer to not use a password manager with their own cloud solution. I like the separation of the two - especially when it comes to a vendor without an established history. By nature, this database file provides everything needed to get to any of my info. I do not store the URL with the username/password, but with so many sites, I have to the entry with enough information for me to distinguish it - but likely someone else as well.
Is there an app that anyone suggests, or a different process that I am using? I have tried iCloud drive, and while its removes the step of having to open the options menu and select Export, every other step is the same. I really like KeePass and other than the difficulty in using it on mobile, I have no issues with using it.
I do believe that these issues are because of the restrictions in iOS by trying to use an app that has separate data. It could be resolved by allowing a file association to the app like Windows, and I'm sure Android. I may be resigned to using an app that manages it's own data storage, and hope that it supports a Windows client to share the database.
Thanks for any help.
