    KeePassXC works well for storing encrypted credentials locally. Implementing solutions requiring KeePassXC database synchronization between different devices might be challenging

    SplashID is really only well suited if you are looking to store passwords offline on your own server. There is no risk of them being leakedin a large scale breach of SplashID, but then it is only up to your security. Since it is not stored online, there is also not a way to restore the master password, so don't forget it!

    Cons
    Open Source
    • Usability is worse if compared to other solutions but this is a good thing
    • References are a good feature, but it may be complicated to make them work as expected
    • Integration with other applications like browsers can be definitely improved
    • Features like secure notes and storing secrets that are not credentials but very sensitive like credit cards are definitely missed.

    • Tabbing through password creation is not intuitive
    • The app is slow at unlocking to reveal passwords
    • There are a limited number of fields you can use for each password making it difficult if you have lots of information to store about one app
    • It is not easy to categorize passwords and stay orginized

    I think some of the interface could be improved. Also, it would be nice to have autotype working in Wayland. Other than that though, it's easy enough that I've been able to teach non-technical people how to use it effectively.

    SplashID is pretty usable, but there are definitely some key downfalls. Like I previously mentioned, it lacks easy organization. It is also not very user friendly to enter passwords. The password generation tool could use some additional options to remove certain special characters because on more than one occasion I have had to adjust a password to remove a prohibited special character.

    They are not exactly the same. KeePassXC is good for secure storing locally secrets like credentials. All the password managers mentioned above rely on storing data in the cloud and synchronization with various devices. KeePassXC definitely has much smaller attack surface. But at the cost of usability.

    SplashID is not nearly as comprehensive as LastPass. LastPass is much easier to orginize and create folders for certain categories. It is also easier to launch logins stored in the vault. The only benefit SplashID provides is that you can store passwords offline. SplashID is better on the pocket book because it is a one time fee where LastPass is subscription based.

    • It doesn't cost anything but does the job. No specific ROI impact.

    • SplashID keeps our passwords off the cloud
    • SplashID allows us to have unique passwords for each app without having to remember them or store them in an unsecured manner
