[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 1022283, member: 55987"] There are a few things I'm exploring now regarding safe data storage, ease of use and transfer between different platforms like Windows and android. 1) Use BW and self-hosting. Self-hosting is difficult to do. So unlikely using this method 2) Use KeePassXC. Can use KeePass DX for android. Storage is local. Not sure can use cloud syncing for password/vault though since both are different app 3) Cloud storage. Can subject to hacking. Unlikely to use. Need to depend on cloud provider to maintain the infrastructure to keep you safe. This also makes BW not a good choice. 4) Store software encrypted files/folders on USB flash drive. Drive need not be encrypted for easy access. So far can only find Verycrypt (Windows) and EDS Lite (android) combo to do it. 5) Use of pricey hardware-encrypted USB flash drive i.e. those which come with a physical keypad on the drive. OS platform independent. No software required. Cannot format drive without password. Options 2/4/5 look attractive as everything is done local. May need cloud syncing for password/vault What do you think? 😁 [/QUOTE]
