Hi,
I’m curious about your opinion, which cloud solution do you think is better in terms of security/privacy ?
Or maybe they’re equal ?
Using only macOS and iOS devices.
• 1Password
or
• Strongbox with iCloud Drive sync (Advanced Data Protection for iCloud enabled)
None of them. Use Nextcloud, Bitwarden, Proton Drive/Pass, Tresorit. 1Password is not open source, so (IMHO) it is not trustworthy at all. iCloud not open source too.
If you not willing to change anything, then use Strongbox, but it is better to search for other solutions
PG recommendations:
I would choose Strongbox from these two since it is open source. Also, Strongbox just released wifi sync as one syncing option you could consider.
Regarding Moss’s comment, I don’t think using something like iCloud for syncing the Strongbox database is an inherently poor option since the database is strongly encrypted. As long as your master password is strong enough, it doesn’t really matter where you store the file.
That’s a common mistake. Strongbox is not Open Source! Don’t forget about it.
It’s licensed under AGPL.
At the moment, we are not accepting pull requests and do not want to manage contributions from others. The code here is under the AGPL which Apple will not allow in the App Store. The code is provided here in the spirit of transparency, security and openness. We licence the code to Apple separately under a different license which is compatible with the App Store.
Yikes…
Half of their code is closed source.
Any source-level independent audit is impossible. You cannot fork it, cannot built it from source and so on…
And yes I know, there are many definitions of Open Source.
That’s unfortunate.
