KeePass for Apple Devices: Syncing, Security, and Cross-Platform Gaps (Strongbox Interview)

Once you use Strongbox, a community favorite KeePass client, it's hard to use anything else. Alex Logan is the VP of Engineering at Applause, the company behind Strongbox. He dives into why KeePass syncing works differently than cloud-based password managers, how Strongbox's sync tries to close that gap, what the Applause acquisition actually changed, the open source nuance that trips people up, and whether a Windows or Android client is ever coming.
