... my passwords in KeyPass under those conditions? KeyPass - don’t know. Like you, I don’t store brokerage passwords in the cloud. That’s where Veracrypt comes in handy. But the cloud (Bitwarden) is great for most of those 200 other passwords I keep. Stick with Xan’s advice above on various ...

Never used
Veracrypt, but I am not impressed how Catalina broke a crap ton of my third party apps.
My fault really -- I should have read reviews on how Catalina's 64-bit nature would break many 32-bit games in particular.
