What Hacker News says

6 sources
I really really like Strongbox. My only resistance from going the route of strongboxsafe is the lack of app-specific PIN, opposed to OS-specific PIN that is still missing from the free version. While a master password covers the specific database, the PIN covers the app. This is a problem for me there: 1. No OS-specific PIN/passcode in free version A wider acceptance should borne with this simple feature in the free version. Also Netwrix is more enterprise-ready with their SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA ready but that is a moot point for most SMBs, SMEs, family-servers and homelabs. I do do like the simple fact that Strongbox has it all out with their Github repository. https://github.com/strongbox-password-safe/Strongbox
