This is simply the second-best password manager there is because of the integrated Android keyboard feature which means nothing goes to the clipboard. Just remember if you shut off background apps, it won't work when you swap because the app closes and safe locks. Works across multiple systems, encrypts the database, has advanced security methods, many features, excellent on mobile, and even more so on PC!
Big improvements in the past few years. Speed & reliability now make the app easy to rely on, with regular updates a sign of overall commitment by the programmer. Interface still looks dated, but that's hardly a reason to look elsewhere. Major virtue: You control your data 100%. No cloud involvement unless you want it. I have it installed on 3 phones. a tablet, a laptop, & a desktop system and synch the password file myself--when & how I want to.
Could not edit my dropbox file on android 13, app v6.23.1. The "writeable" toggle button was grayed out. Maybe my phone thought the file was still open and locked. I could edit on PC. I deleted an old conflicted plk file, made sure the file was closed on all devices, no luck. Then tried making a copy in Dropbox and opened the copy. I can edit the copy. I shifted all PC and phone to using the copy. Remaining problem are some java errors using Passwd Safe Sync together with the app.
