moin moin,

below I said KeePassXC doesn't have a way of syncing passwords with
another password database file. Tonight I was looking at KeePassXC SSH
integration documentation and I see there is a sharing option, KeeShare.

"KeeShare allows you to share a subset of your credentials with others and
vice versa."

In my example of my phone the others are myself and I :).

https://keepassxc.org/docs/KeePassXC_UserGuide#_database_sharing_with_keeshare

I will experiment and see if I can get sharing to work the way I want it
to.

ciao,

der.hans
