Strongbox Pro

I hear that some manage without a password keeper, but I have no idea how they manage. In Strongbox I trust…

Been using Strongbox Pro for about a year now. Main reason I chose it is because it allows self hosting the password database on your own hardware. With Strongbox you can, of course, host your passwords in the cloud if you like. After Lastpass was hacked I moved to Strongbox. Never again will I store passwords in the cloud. The import feature works well and made the transition fairly easy from Lastpass. I self host on a Raspberry Pi on my home network. Strongbox syncs the database between all of my devices including my wife’s devices. It allows offline access to your passwords when you’re on the road. It syncs changes and resolves conflicts you or your wife might make in offline mode when you get back on your home network. The developer is responsive. I asked a lot of questions on Reddit before making the switch. He answered all of my questions quickly and clearly. I learned a lot from his responses. Strongbox has worked flawlessly. I highly recommended it.

What’s not to love? Open standard data format, not locked away by some company more interested in money than security. Great features. Apple style user interface. Constantly being developed and updated. Responsive support from the developers. My only regret is I’m forced to use applications that aren’t so good on other platforms, but like I said, the data files are cross compatible, so I get to use it on my apple devices. If you’re considering a password manager, this should be one of your finalists.

I had been using Strongbox for several years and wanted to upgrade to the pro version. It was unclear that my free version allowed upgrade purchases. As a result, it appeared that I must download the pro version from the App Store in order to purchase a one year subscription that I wanted. With the pro version downloaded, I was able to select and pay for the one year use of the pro version however, I then received both charges on my credit card: one charge for the one year pro subscription and another charge for the lifetime pro subscription. With the help of Apple support I canceled the lifetime pro subscription charge. The product labeling could be improved to make the selected subscription more obvious.

Amazing to have this feature. Thank you so much for adding it and continuing to improve it. Keep up the great work for all those who are disappointed in how 1password 8 has been developed.

The password manager I used to use moved to an electron app for macOS and transitioned into a subscription service. I’m always trying to curtail my subscriptions and avoid using electron based apps when I can, so it was pretty obvious to me it had to go. I bounced around a few other popular services until I eventually discovered Strongbox and I can’t imagine myself going elsewhere. If you’re familiar with quality native macOS apps like BBEdit, Transmit, Alfred, and the like that’s more or less the experience you’ll find here. A well built and well maintained macOS (and iOS!) app that has the support of a small team who care and clearly love what they do. Thank you for working on this app, these types of apps are far and few between. Truly a gem.

This is the KeePass app I’ve needed for years. I’ve used other really good apps, but they all struggled with syncing databases, especially with OneDrive. I’ve been using StrongBox for over a year and it has never had an issue syncing. It has a great UI and handles TOTP well. The MacOS client is the best KeePass client experience on iOS or Mac and I’ve used KeePass for over a decade. I am begging for a Windows client and would be happy to pay another lifetime license for the privilege.

Outstanding program - yes. Outstanding support - yes. Outstanding developer - yes. I have used all the password managers starting with 1Password. Still like 1Password but after having trouble with safari integration for months I started looking around. Finally settled on Strongbox and have been very happy. It works extremely well on mac and iOS with sync.

is it possible not to set markdown as the default note format? sometimes notes contain special but meaningful characters

Thank you very much!
