Password managers are less secure than promised (ethz.ch)

Millions of people use password managers. They make accessing online services and bank accounts easy and simplify credit card payments.
Many providers promise absolute security – the data is said to be so encrypted that even the providers themselves cannot access it.
However, researchers from ETH Zurich have shown that it is possible for hackers to view and even change passwords.

Just set it up so that the resulting .kdbx database file is always instantly synced between your devices whenever you make changes. Everything is in that file and all keepass versions can open it. I use syncthing for this because it doesnt require a server, but you can use nextcloud or whatever you have available. With syncthing it always just keeps the most recently modified version.
