Vendor lock-in a serious concern. Just reading through this KeePass issue again and seeing how much pressure the industry is trying to exert to prevent the users from being able to export their own private keys should be concerning. I come back to this discussion every time I see someone arguing in favor of passkey adoption.

>The unfortunate piece is that your product choices can have both positive and negative impacts on the ecosystem as a whole. I've already heard rumblings that KeepassXC is likely to be featured in a few industry presentations that highlight security challenges with passkey providers

Hi! I'm the commenter on that post that keeps being brought up!

I don't think requiring an encrypted backup (with a key or secret that YOU control) by default is "preventing users from being able to export their own private keys".
