I found a few other utilities that seemed very shady, so I aimed to resolve this by myself without the help of external tools. A team member suggests using a test version of a converter utility, that supposedly then imports KeePass entries to 1Password. I found a thread on this from the 1Password support forum (somehow search doesn’t include this content). Searching for guidance from 1Password on migrating from KeePass yielded nothing. Migrating to 1Password, on the other hand was a painful experience.

The family plan was very affordable, and I felt I’d paid the same for KeePass if it provided a better synchronization and Windows Hello support. Not everything was perfect, but I felt I got so much more. I initially copied just a few secrets and used both apps at the same time, which wasn’t a problem. I kept using KeePass while trying out 1Password.
Family plan for sharing secrets with family members.
Windows Hello support, as well as Apple’s Face ID support on iPhone. There was much that I liked, which I didn’t know was part of the subscription: During Christmas break last year I figured I’d test it once again. I’d seen 1Password being widely used but I disliked the subscription model. I relented on this and simply created another database – which I then had to replicate with my main database. As the database is stored locally it quickly becomes a burden to manage this sharing somehow securely and confidentially. Every family has a collection of secrets they need to mutually know and share - from children’s Xbox accounts to summer cabin electronic lock pin codes to car stereo access codes. Browser support was poor at best and I could never get it to work reliably so I just gave up and used the rich client.Īnother painful aspect with KeePass is sharing of secrets and databases. Windows Hello was one of the things I missed, as mostly everything else I have supports Windows Hello-based authentication. KeePass is very rudimentary, in it that it lacks many of the modern capabilities. I configured the default global shortcut (CTRL-ALT-K) for bringing KeePass available in any context on my laptop and workstation, and with CTRL-C and CTRL-V I could easily copy and paste secrets between apps. And the best part is it didn’t cost me anything! Except the occasional, yearly donation I felt obligated to do for such a nice piece of software. I was able to access my passwords securely from my mobile devices (Android and iOS) and everything was in sync. It was encrypted with something that sounds pretty secure, ChaCha20. I had nearly 1,000 identities or other secrets stored in a single database. Over the years I’d become pretty good at managing and using KeePass for my needs. KeePass is free, as in you can voluntarily make a donation to keep the development efforts going. I’d dabbled with KeePass several times and while it was slightly rough on the edges I somehow stuck to it. Many systems at the time did not support Facebook authentication or Azure AD single sign-on so I had individual accounts for many systems. I had amassed a formidable collection of passwords. I left Microsoft exactly 10 years ago, and we started our own company with my brother.

As an IT Pro I’ve used everything from text files stored on Windows Desktop to encrypted Excel files to post-it notes to reusing the same password (“R3member1”, “R3m3mber2”.) to forgetting my password and resetting it.
I can’t quite remember when I started using a password manager, or which password manager it was at the time. One password to rule them all: Migrating to 1Password from KeePass and text files
