Yes you can, and that would probably work for some people, but there are situations where you might not want your spouse or someone else to have access to certain individual accounts (e.g. if it is a later marriage and you have premarital accounts), and in that case you can set it up so the other person shares certain accounts and not others.
Thanks for the prompt. I was about to reply that my main issue with manually subdividing my keepass database is that the application only keeps one kdbx open. So it would get tedious to close/open to switch between them during the normal course of operation. .....but I decided to try opening a second DB and I see that it works, providing a tabbed view of both databases for easy toggling between them. So I may look into this approach further. I thought I had tried this years ago, but maybe I just assumed it did not work based on some documentation.
I do not disagree, but my main concern is the travel use case. If I get my electronic device stolen near my home, I can go back home and recover. If I am half way around the world and my smartphone is taken I am hamstrung even after I buy a replacement phone unless I can recover from the cloud. To make things more difficult, two-factor authentication often gets in the way (it does for me, as I will get a local number when traveling and my US number will not work internationally). Utilizing the cloud for recovery while at home is also a good strategy, though other options are possible.You don't have to be traveling in say, Italy or France, to be worried about being held at knifepoint for your valuables. You could have that happen right in your home. So security only goes so far.
Our devices are basically uncrackable by criminal types. But yes, someone could threaten bodily harm and even require I give them a password while they hold my iPhone. Then if they are really going to pull off stuff they'd kill me and empty my accounts over time or wait until I help them do so. So that's why I keep our doors locked and deploy normal security measures.
Getting back to just travel, Europeans move about all the time with electronic devices in their pockets. There are many tourists that are somewhat careless with their pocket items like wallets and phones. Many I am sure are less secure then ones we deploy. We take better measures then most to protect devices so I think criminals will go after the low hanging fruit.
And I don't mean to be pooh-poohing these concerns. I've considered the worst especially when I am tired at nights and worried about everything.
OLD THREAD, but I'm only now finally getting around to dumping LastPass.
