No more KeePassX / KeePassXC woes

KeePass is an amazing tool for storing passwords in a secure manner, but syncing password databases across multiple devices can be somewhat challenging.

For several years, I've used
- MiniKeepass on iOS
- KeePass + Mono on OS X
- Dropbox for syncing

and was quite content with this combination.

But since KeePass is not very well integrated in OS X, I decided to switch to KeePass X. This seemed ok at first glance, but recently I noticed that several entries I had created in MiniKeepass were missing in KeePassX 😕. I then tried KeePassXC, with the same result.

I still haven't found the root cause - it might be a manifestation of https://github.com/MiniKeePass/MiniKeePass/issues/136 or a similar (more recent) bug in MiniKeepass, but I haven't found time to investigate this.

For the time being, I switched from KeePassX / KeePassXC to MacPass.
It's also Open Source, and it seems to be able to handle alle entries created by MiniKeepass.
