hpr1893 :: My LastPass Alternative

My LastPass Alternative

• Password Database: KeePass http://keepass.info/ KeePass client is in the fedora repos.

Save file to a location that will be synced between devices. Im my case Owncloud. Desktop Client syncs available for Linux, Windows and Mac. Mobile clients for Android, IOS, and even blackberry. Syncing note: I do not launch the desktop client on login. This allows the owncloud client to sync files before launching keepass. Also, I exit keypass before logging out for the same reason.

For integration with browser, there are

• Firefox: Passifox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/passifox/
• Chrome: chromeIPass https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chromeipass/ompiailgknfdndiefoaoiligalphfdae?hl=en
• Android: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=keepass&fdid=com.android.keepass

And finally when on machines I don't control:

• Remote Access: Browser Pass https://bitbucket.org/namn/browsepass/

On same server with ownlcloud, can open files

hpr1434 :: Why I made an account free android

Why I built an Account Free Google tablet. Including links of what was done. Some basic criteria. No accounts created for downloading, installing or configuring except for mail accounts. No rooting. No pirated apps. Something that can be easy for a user to do including installing and updating apps. One ad supported app installed, but hope to find an alternative.
