I need to get a password safe working under both FreeBSD and my iPhone.
I want to avoid having an encrypted master password file sitting on the Internet. The master decryption password is short enough to remember and type easily, so I reckon it's too vulnerable to brute-forcing at some future date. Hence the password file needs to be held locally on each device. A manual update process (e.g. transient transfer via Dropbox) is fine, since the important passwords don't change often.
An easy cut'n'paste (or autofill) on the iPhone is a must, as the application passwords are too long to type.
I have tried security/keepassxc, using Dropbox to pass the Passwords.kdbx master file to KeePassium app on the iPhone. The iPhone app collects a cached copy of the encrypted password file, but croaks if I delete the Dropbox copy.
Looking for recommendations for things that meet the requirements on both FreeBSD and the iPhone... or maybe I just need to re-arrange my dinosaur era brain cells to consider other options?
Edit: I just found Strongbox for the iPhone which works with KeePass variants on Unix and stores the database locally (gives you a URL to upload the kdbx file into the iPhone's file system). Still interested in other peoples' thoughts.
