The problem is with the website using http instead of https, which allows a mitm attack.

The workaround is to not be retarded enough to download keepass while using an unknown network. Disabling update checks also deals with the issue.

Yea should record them analog.
>>
>>54944242
>The desktop version or one of the many apps?

the autoupdate feature connects over http allowing someone with access to your network or connection to keepass (say, isp, either on your end or the keepass servers provider end, or something) to MITM the update

if you download from sourceforge(https) and update manually you shouldn't have a problem

the apps may not be affected because they'll update through the play store or apple's equivalent

>>54944397
>Why the fuck would you need a password manager when two step authentication exists?

that's just it, keepass is a local password manager.

it's just the update function and their site is using http.

not problems if you are using a package manager like any decent human being should.
>>
>>54944599
>the autoupdate feature connects over http
There is no automated updating on keepass. You always have to manually download and run the installer. Keepass only tells you that there is an update and sends you to the website if you choose to.

The only thing keepass has is an automated update check, but it does nothing on it's own.

I have a password book which I use for individual websites and websites are written twice, at the beginning row to row it says on which page I wrote the website (basically an index) and on the page with the website I write everything that was related to that website registration. Password, security questions, fake birthday if any, recovery e-mail (have 4 e-mails) etc. etc. I feel this is much safer as having something stolen digitally is typically out of your means to protect all the time but a responsibility given to the program operator, similar to how LastPass was hacked, you can't entrust yourself with the security of your passwords all that well. Meanwhile my book has a regular (fake) book cover in my bookshelf and I access it whenever I need access to some high value accounts with unique passwords. Otherwise low value accounts (like accounts made "just to be" or to check something out) are made with a shared password I could not possibly care less about being hacked, so I don't need to index every single website in the world I have registered into.

>Resolution. In order to prevent a man in the middle from making KeePass display incorrect version information (even though this does not imply a successful attack, see above), the version information file is now digitally signed (using RSA-2048 and SHA-512). KeePass 2.34 and higher only accept such a digitally signed version information file. Furthermore, the version information file is now downloaded over HTTPS.

If you don't frequent the sites daily, all the more reason to use a password manager to keep track of login info for them as it'll be harder to remember without repetition.

I only need to know the passwords of my user account on the computer, the primary email and the keepassx decryption key. It contains somewhere between 100 and 200 site logins, both user names and passwords randomly generated strings, 20+ characters long for the latter. There's no reason I should have to remember all of that by myself. Why are you even on a computer if you're not going to use it to perform tasks for you?
>>
>>54944823
This is almost good: it needs to add a placeholder for the initials of the service you're making it for. Then you can re-use the same few patterns of different difficulty and only need to remember those while still having a different password for everything. That's what I do and I've never needed a password manager, yet all my 100+ passwords are unique and actually hard to crack (depending on the base pattern of course). Letting my browser remember them was merely a convenience
