Extremely accessible with VoiceOver, however some icons are read as the file names and not proper labels. The dev is aware of this and will fix this when he can.
He has already fixed an accessibility bug I reported to him.

Other Comments

I have been looking for a good iOS app that supports Keepass vaults for a while, and this appears to be the one for me.

There is still no way to identify audit items as there is on Mac, however I am now a very happy user of this app. It integrates with Safari autofill on Mac and iOS. I am a 1Password refugee. Supports passkeys, which ultimately sealed the deal for me (over Bitwarden). Would recommend.

I confirm this, Strongvox was actually better on iOS and MacOS than KeyPass on Windows.

I ultimately decided that jam today was preferable to jam tomorrow. You can still use Keepass on Windows, but if you're on the Apple platforms, best to take full advantage. The format is open; that's what's important. Bitwarden was a runner-up though to be sure.

When Firefox, chrome and edge support saving passwordds? You just need to sign into the browsers account, like Firefox for example, and you're good to go.

Of course, if you are happy using an OS or browser password manager, go for it. But it does limit you to that browser or OS. iCloud Keychain works in Chrome on macOS and Windows, but not on Firefox, in addition to Safari; otherwise, you will need to install Chrome or Firefox for every platform if you want to use passwords stored there. The chief advantage of doing this is that the support is built right in, so it's nice and accessible. Using a password manager external to the browsers requires an extension written in JavaScript, so the experience isn't as nice, if at all, except for Safari, where for Strongbox, it's an autofill extension so it behaves just like the native iCloud Keychain and is very nice to use. So yeah, pick your poison, there are choices to be made.

Disclaimer: I have nothing against Strongbox.

I have to agree with Brad, at least on Windows OS. Firefox as a password manager is easy peasy lemon squeezy. Firefox on iOS is amazing. I tend to use it more often than not these days, and in doing so, allows handoff between Windows and my iPhone. At least in regards to website-related things. 😎
