![]() > After installation I see "KeePass2.23" icon under application on Mac Mini See attachment. I have setup latest version of Mono (MonoFramework-MDK-5.4.1.7.) and I have downloaded and unzip the latest KeePass (KeePass2.23.zip) on my Mac Mini. Recently I decided to move from Microsoft to Apple (mac mini, mac book and iphone) as part of this move I want to continue using KeePass on my new Mac Mini but this is turning out to be painful. So accessing these media resources will happen through a non-Apple app from the iPad unless it has been synced through the Mac.I have been using KeePass on Windows for a while and have been very happy with the tool and have all my passwords saved in KeePass. But for other devices the story is not straightforward, the NAS device does not have iTunes' home sharing. ![]() So, now we can share iTunes to PCs wirelessly. I had to reboot the Mac to ensure that the drives were mounted before it would work. iTunes did move my music library to the external device, and correctly updated the file location, but it just chokes when it tries to play. The drives need to be mounted before iTunes is launched. Here you can navigate to shared network resources, and set them to mount at login. Key was to go into the "Users and Groups" control panel and select "Login Items". It also won't sync to an iPad or other device. The key point from the ARS article is this: If the drive is not mounted at boot time, iTunes will not play. I followed a couple of different walk-throughs: Now I want iTunes to run from the network disk drive instead of needing to keep the Mac on all the time. So, I bit the bullet and picked up a NAS device to offload AV files from my Mac. With a complete CSV, Lastpass complains about using Chrome during the import - so I had to open up Safari. In any case you will want to decide whether to check the entries for sites that would otherwise not be imported during the process. So, you really want to track down the URLs and enter them in your CSV file before importing the CSV. Without the URL, the browser integration piece is broken. I always used Keepass as a reference, so I did not have a URL for each site. The next thing to note is that the import process un-checks entries without a URL. So I had to fire up a PC to convert the data. Unfortunately, my favorite Mac Keepass port KyPass Companion did not allow CSV export, The obvious thing to try is a CSV export.Įdit the CSV to match the column format in Excel. Instead of a list of sites and the username and password stored in the correct field. The XML import resulted in a series of notes with credentials stored in them, Lastpass suggests using a Keypass XML format export with the Lastpass import routine. ![]() Converting from Keypass2 KDBX format was not straightforward. Looking for browser integration, I decided to give it a try. And so I looked into using it as a place to save and update passwords. In the Heartbleed story, Mashable referenced Lastpass. (That feature is front and center in KeypassDroid.) Or save it in Dropbox and open it from wherever you are. You need to move that encrypted password file around with you. ![]() Keypass is more the free swiss army knife of password encryption. For a little more money, you can get an App on your iPad or smartphone. This way you are not relying on your browser or operating system to store your web site passwords. ![]() It helpfully reminds you when a password is duplicated between sites, to make each site's password unique. And I have used it as a place to store all sorts of access information, including combo lock codes, ftp logins, and encryption keys.Ī great feature of Lastpass is to let it choose passwords for sites, and store them, so that you don't need to remember those passwords. Keypass is more general purpose and gives greater flexibility (maybe too much?), such as choosing your encryption algorithm. Lastpass seems to be best for storing website credentials. Both systems are generally secure options. But Keypass has other options, and one is to use the windows logon credentials to open the database. There is also a mobile app if you pay the 'freemium'.īoth systems can use a master password for the repository. It runs in the browser and there is no desktop app. LastPassis a web service that securely stores your password information. The Open Source program KeyPass is great for generating and securely storing all sorts of information (passwords, web addresses, SSH keys, ftp logins, even combo lock codes) ![]()
