If it tried to leak your data, you could detect this in the data consumption stats. KeePassium needs about 12KB to load the in-app purchase options. Because whenever Apple updates its operating system, the developers are asked and may have to make adjustments to their apps. If you use KeePassium on mobile internet connection, you can check apps' data consumption measured by the system (device settings → Mobile data → KeePassium). However, transparency was more important. It now works on KeePassXC 2.2.4 and MiniKeePass.

Fix: I used KeePass 2.42.1 (original) on Windows to downgrade my database: Click on File -> Export -> KeePass KDBX (2.34, Old Format) and save to a new file to export to the older KDBX format. Reddit knows I was reluctant to do this, because this was risky for the commercial side of the project. Obviously MiniKeePass does not support this. Other developers could possibly confirm that the published source code has no backdoors - but there is no way to prove that the app in App Store is actually based on the published source code without any "suprises".Īs a developer, I did everything I know to ensure transparency:ĭeanonymized: KeePassium's author is an actual person with a name, and a paper trail proving such person exists. But any claim would not carry any weight due to the obvious conflict of interest. Although there is a KeePass equivalent for iOS, this nifty ad-on is for if you prefer not to install the iOS app, or for users of other operating systems.

The only person who has the necessary information to vouch for an app is its developer (well, me).
