Should be a very common issue

KeepassDX + KeepassXC, Android to Linux.

Synced with Syncthing.

I do a change on the password manager on one device and on another, Android killed Syncthing again so now I have 2 files, one called "sync conflict".

Both files have some new change, I need to keep both.

When using the import feature in KeepassXC, I think everything is duplicated. This would be the best place to do this.

Any idea how to merge them or at least show the diffs?

Displaying all entries, without folders, sorted by date, could also already help.

kinda-solution

In KeepassXC, bottom left, "all entries". Alternatively, search for "*".

Then sort by date.

This helps to compare the most recent changes, and copy them over to the want-to-keep version of the file.

I open both dbs and sort all entries by ’modified’

Hm, yes I also had some false positives

@boredsquirrel KeePassXC can export to CSV format, you could then diff those

I think you're missing a lot of metadata (last modified, history?) in those files. Haven't checked in a while, though.

True, this would be an okay backup solution!
