Can you do custom fields in Strongbox? This is one of the reasons IIRC I didn't consider ProtonPass because you can't add your own fields
While there is an option to add TOTP, expiration date, SSH Key, and additional URL etc., you do not have the ability to create custom fields of your own choosing and naming.
I am curious what password managers can autofill passwords for non-browser applications. For example, when you connect an external drive that has been earlier encrypted using Disk Utility, you are prompted to enter a password. (As you would expect, in this example you can choose to store the password in the keychain.) Codebook can easily handle these instances on macOS and Windows with its “Secret Agent” helper application.
Absolutely. Download the free version first, and you can play with custom fields there.
Every entry is effectively the same type:
- un/pw
- URL, email
- TOTP, Expiry, Tags, SSH
- Group
- Notes
- Custom Fields
- Attachments
This exists in every entry. That's why it's not perfect, really. If you wanted a credit card, you can have that. You just need to put most of the data into Custom Fields.
Whether you tie a credit card together with the login information on your cc company's login will be up to you, because it'll have a un/pw and url there for you, as it always does.

1Password can do that; I use it that way all the time. It's pretty nice. I have the standard 1Password hotkey set, so when there's some field to fill in some app, I just press the hot key and small helper pops up which allows me to choose a password and automatically fill it in.
That's what I was asking for. Do have several vaults (databases within strongbox) and need to have them open all the time (work, private, family). Looks like it does work with macOS but not iOS?!
I use https://www.pikapods.com/ with Vaultwarden (Bitwarden Rust backend).
You click and it spins up and costs me $1.24 a month.
I have yet to see something cheaper/better out there.

On Mac, you can have multiple databases open at once. They are treated as separate instances.
Would advise you to get the free version to play with it.
I am confused, are you two giving conflicting answers or am I missing something?
Custom fields are supported.
See here the feature list on the developers site:
Compare Features - Strongbox
🎄 🎄 Compare Features View the full feature list for iOS and MacOS, Free and Pro. iOS Yearly, Monthly and Lifetime purchase options available. Strongbox requires a minimum of iOS 14.0 or macOS 11.0 MacOS

Suggest you just download the free version and try it out to satisfy yourself it meets your needs before committing.
PS: sites like this have well meaning folk posting wrong answers and malicious folk posting nonsense for whatever reason drives them.
You can use any that support keepass. I did this when I was testing our Strongbox.I wish Strongbox had Windows supportOh well.

ah, do not get me wrong I have nothing against @Apple_Robert @drumcat , we are all just chatting here. I just wanted clarification.

If they choose to go Windows route I can see them growing significantly.
I'm using StrongBox and synching with Keepass2Androd app on my phone. It works great. No Cloud needed.
I can now sync all my attachments, which wasn't the case with 1Password 6 on Android. I also like that I'm not forced into predefined categories. You can name your folders anything you want. Custom fields work great and are easy to understand and implement.

How big is your database? I heard quite often, that big databases are not good for KeePass sync (e.g. Strongbox).
I am moving to a new mac and I want to continue to use 1Password 7 standalone version. Can I just download the version from the app store and use it wiht my license or is that a different version (I don't want to use the migration assistent, I am doing a fresh instal)?
I recommend pwSafe 2. It’s cross-platform and securely holds all of your password username information. I have been using this app for years on iOS, macOS, Linux, BSD, and Windows machines.. I have never had a problem with it.
Keep in mind that security and convenience are opposite ends of the same line, the closer you get to one the further away you travel from the other. You cannot have total convenience and total security at the same time.. you are going to have to choose one. pwSafe 2 offers security and is free of charge for local use.

Nice ad.
No, it doesn't work that way. Some apps give you both. Can you explain how you have this on Linux or Windows? The site doesn't say it's cross-platform. Seems odd to not explain that...
There's a download link for 7.9.11 on the following 1Password forum thread:
