Hi,
I've been using a backport to Stretch of keepassxc myself for a few
month already, and I really like it. As the OP wrote, no modification
needed, it just builds fine, and works perfectly.
What I like about keepassxc is that it supports my Yubikey as a medium
of encryption for my password db, which is great. No need to type any
password, as long as the yubikey is plugged. Note that for this, it
doesn't use GPG, but an SHA string (not sure about the detail). It's
only 128 bits of entropy, but that's fine for me, the goal is just to
have the file crypted so that other applications can't read it, my HDD
is encrypted using luks anyway.
I also like the fact it types for me instead of copy/past in the
clipboard, again, so that other apps can't read anything.
I would have sponsor the package, but I don't think that's reasonable, I
do have enough on my Debian plate already. If you do have enough time,
please do sponsor this upload to backports.
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
