I am using grpahene on a refurbished pixel 6a for 250€
I was coming from lineage os, and while I loved lineage for not having ads, possibility for no google etc. I AM SO HAPPY WITH GRAPHENE
it is better optimized, has higher security and the multiple users, sandboxes Google and stuff are soooo nice and easy to use
Also the pixel is a very nice phone (crazy camera, perfect oled) but I don't like that it doesn't support wired headphone and SD cards. Still very much worth it IMHO
I'll check them but why keepass over bitwarden?
Is the battery good with GrapheneOS? I know is refurbished but how bad is it? I would love to try it but spending for a refurbished to use it as second phone?🤔
Comes down to preference in security vs. Convenience: Keepass is local, so more safe, but with the downside of no automatic sync. can be solved with KDE connect (completly local) or nextcloud (trusted server) though it is not as smooth of a user experience.
Battery is good in my opinion, had an used LCD smartphone before, which held barely a day in the end, this one has two days and a half with battery saver kicking in at 25% which is more than enough for me.
I think most use who use keepass instead of bitwarden do so because keepass is offline, unlike bitwarden. At least that's what I understand.
KeePass is offline unlike KeePass 🤔 something is wrong. I get what you mean and finally someone answers
Yeah but I prefer have them on my phone and pc and If I lose a phone I still have everything..?
So you can use KeePass + Syncthing to synchronize the database file across your devices. Keeps it distributed and I've heard a lot of recommendations for this, although I haven't tried it.
If you don't want to do that, Bitwarden is well regarded and probably would suit your needs based on what you've said.
For my threat model, I don't trust any online password manager, so I host my own local Bitwarden server (Vaultwarden) and use Tailscale to securely access it from any device, and if the server goes down, the Bitwarden client keeps a cached copy on the device itself.
Edited to clarify, my b
