Keepass and all is great. But it doesn't have first class support for anything but passwords.

I'm sure many people will cringe when reading this, but I also save credit cards in my password manager and use it to auto fill when I need it. This unfortunately isn't supported by Keepass et al.

It has templates, which are supported by some implementation but not others. Which also isn't great.

Why would anyone cringe to read that? They're no more valuable than passwords. In fact, I would think they're less valuable, since really the CC company is on the hook if a number gets stolen.


I don't know. I guess I figured since Keepass and KeepassXC didn't have it, it might be because the most security and privacy conscious don't do it.


Another reason this is helpful is if you lose your wallet and have all the phone numbers and details for your cards stored in a sun cable database. It makes it easy to cancel your cards and order new ones.


I store my CC numbers in KeePassXC even though there's no first class support. I put my full name as the username, the number as the password, and the expiration and CVV I put in the comments.


This is what I keep reading, but when I tried that, auto fill didn't work for this.


I do this too and it's another reason that I use 1Password. I use this functionality a lot too because I very rarely have my wallet on me but I always have my phone.
