keepass on android

I have just entered the 21st century phonewise and got an android phone, the motorola defy, and very pleased with it I am.

The first two apps I put on the phone are keepassdroid and dropbox.

I have blogged about these in the past and now I have my phone synced to the same keepass database. For all those i-phone users there is of course an i-phone version too. It all works a treat so I still do not need to know any of my passwords.

One slight issue I had, my PC version of keepass was out of date so I had to upgrade that to get the two keepass clients to work together.

keepass and dropbox combined.

A while ago I blogged about using keepass as a secure password & data storage tool.

The blog entry is here.

The issue I have always had is keeping the keepass db in sync between my different PCs at work & at home and on the move. I used to use a memory stick but decided that was prone to getting lost or damaged.

I have recently started using dropbox. This tool provides online storage allowing sync between any number of devices and supports linux, i-phones, android, iPad as well as Microsoft platforms. It is free for the first 2GB and you get to earn additional storage by either nominating others or getting nominated by an existing member.

From the reviews I have read it appears secure so I have started using it for my keepass database as well as any every day stuff I want to share.

As for reviewing keepass I am still very pleased and impressed with it.

My family now all have their own keepass databases to keep their personal data.

So if you want to try dropbox, follow this referral link and try it out.

KeePass - Secure password and data storage

For a while I have wanted some form of secure password and data storage and I came across KeePass.

This tool appears to do everything I want.

I can run it standalone from a USB device without installing any software or registry changes on the PC.

I can store passwords as well as custom information.

There is a wealth of plugins for things like backups and browser integration.

And its free.
