For me it’s the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they’re being spied. Here’s the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won’t use it or haven’t used it in a while.

They, whoever it is, can’t really spy on you on something that’s already off and unplugged!

      Technically you could use PGP to encrypt a .txt file with all your passwords in it. Which would be more or less the same thing with a lot less polish to it.

          PGP is ‘pretty good privacy’; it’s an encryption standard. It’s not the best, but it’s fairly easy to use, and it going to resist decryption pretty well, for most use-cases. The idea is that you have a public key, and a private key. The public key allows messages to be encrypted, while your private key allows decryption.

        I looked it up for you; you can export your Proton Pass database as a .csv file and then import it into KeePass. Not sure about KeePassDX but on XC, there’s a csv import option. There’s also a json import option but it says BitWarden for that so I’m not sure if the json Proton Pass exports is in the same structure as KeePassXC expects.

          Thanks for the answer! Another question: does saving the data on KeepassDX keep all the passwords and such for me to import to other apps if needed? Or what does the file include?

            You can export as csv, html, xml from KeePassXC. Dunno about DX but you can just try it on your desktop if it’s not an option on mobile.

            You know I’m looking up all these answers right? I don’t mean to be rude but you can and should just look these up yourself. You can check import and export options by opening keepassxc/keepassdx and checking for yourself

              Yeah, you’re right. Sorry, I definitely have a tendency to treat Lemmy as a search engine sometimes. Nonetheless I appreciate you answering me!
