alt Hacker NewsThe keepass ecosystem is comprised of a dozen implementations of the KDB(X) file spec. Some are better than others.
I built KeePass Tusk back in 2018, for example. This would kill the project and abandon 30K users without a rewrite of the JS engine (there are several now!)
I agree with you that KDBX sucks, but at this point a keepass based on SQLite would be keepass in name only, a new password manager to migrate to.
Hey I’ve seen your project before! You bring up a super good point that I was thinking of when I brought up the idea that the extension should be renamed to .kp . Really the only reason to keep the KeePass name would be branding, people know and trust it. Honestly my dream password manager is essentially something that uses the CodeBook (by SQLCipher authors) storage format, but with the nice trustworthy, FOSS KeePass ecosystem chrome on top of it (keepassxc<-browser>, keepassium, etc).
