    @gremlin Maybe I'll try again some time. I guess in the meantime I'll spend another €320 on 36 months of more typoquat domains. Fun fact: I checked whether IONOS had a better offer than Godaddy. They did for the domains themselves. But in addition they wanted a fixed one-time fee of just over €1800 for "premium domains". Ridiculous.

    @keepassxc IONOS, GoDaddy etc are completly CRAP. I mainly use: Porkbun (always #1 for me), Spaceship & Namecheap. As said, never pay for Premium BS. Either go full Bonkers and Sue or ask/do nothing.

      @gremlin Namecheap was another option. Maybe I'll transfer some there. But in the long run, it's not much cheaper either.

        @keepassxc as said, for me Porkbun is No1. Great Support, more then fair Pricing and literally everything you need (a.E. Domain-Privacy) included.

          @keepassxc Jeeze people. Team KeePassXC is trying the best they can. It's absurd to think that a FREE project can just go out and buy $100,000 worth of typo domains. Do a little research into what you're clicking. I for one applaud the effort KeePassXC is making to try and calm it down, but give them a little slack.

            @gremlin As I said, we already own quite a few different domains. We're a small open source project. We get a healthy amount of donations, but we cannot spend $2000 a year on domains, just so someone can register yet another one we haven't registered yet.

            @keepassxc Don't worry about that: I'm sure most people would agree with you that doing something like that is overkill for any FOSS project. If you were a per-profit company, sure, but it just makes no sense requiring that from you. Their expectations make absolutely zero sense for me. Donation money should be spent on better things than extra domains.

              Yeah, that sounds like Whac-a-mole.

              Anything else that can be done about it?

              I just reported it to DuckDuckgo, it is the third result for "keepass xc" there currently -.-

              Enter lots of fake emails to them? Possibly to domain that tarpits every access or something else that slows down them..

                @keepassxc this reminds me to send a donation. Not to buy domains, but just because...

                keepassxc is a fave.

                        @keepassxc It's curious that this risk is not mentioned on the KeypassXC.org website.
