[QUOTE="Ink, post: 937351, member: 3"] Sync features brings risk when [B]sharing data across the Internet[/B]. However, I am confident that these companies have their designed their software services around this, and have fail-safes in place to protect users' data and their own servers. [B]Sync greatly benefits the user[/B]. They can be installed on all your trusted devices, used anytime, anyplace and anyhow. No worries about restrictions. An offline password storage solution is only good for [B]a singular device[/B], with any of the following assumptions: [LIST] [*]user credentials can only be filled on that device [*]the database is encrypted with a password [*]the device is malware-free [*]the device is restricted (i.e. limited number of persons with access) [*]the device is always up to date to prevent exploiting vulnerabilities in software code [*]the device is air-gapped (?) [*]a secure copy of the database exists offline [*]the master password is memorised by the device owner [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
