Database Encryption

Open tanabi opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hi!

I was using Notes (arguably foolishly) to store passwords and other sensitive information. On an encrypted hard drive with one user, I'm not sure it REALLY matters, but I started porting things to KeePassXC. At least, things that are secure and not just notes.

I've come to realize the only real difference between KeePassXC and notes is that password box when you first start the program. If notes had an encrypted database, it's really pretty much the same thing (albiet KeePass certainly has more 'targeted' features ... it's also itself more targeted by hackers and exploits so it is somewhat a victim of its own popularity).

Encryption was mentioned in a closed issue as a potential roadmap item, I figured I'd bring it up again, since I'd probably just rather use notes than bother with two softwares that do kind of the same thing.

So, gently nudging it back onto the roadmap if possible :) Thanks for your consideration!
