I'm in the process of cleaning up my #KeePass database after introducing myself to its more modern features (passkeys support, browser integration via its extension, Android credential API (whatever it's called) support). I've got stuff in here from 2011. Fifteen years is a helluva long time for a file format and application to stay relevant in this world. Congratulations!

And many thanks to #KeePassXC, #KeePassDX, and #SyncThing for making maintenance and longevity of what amounts to "the keys to the kingdom" a relatively seamless and painless process, 15 years and counting, across numerous devices. There was a period of time where I was using the #Mono builds of the KeePass application too, so props to that project too.
