    KeePassXC here. Locally encrypted, Locally stored, cloud backup of an encrypted file, synced with SyncThing to mobile devices. I will never trust nor recommend a cloud based manager with all the breaches.

      Same! I’ve got a script that runs weekly to back mine up in 5 different places including a synching folder. No surprises, no losses, and no need to trust anyone else ever with my entire password db.

      Yeah, KeePassXC + SyncThing all day every day. Can’t in good conscience trust someone else with my sensitive data, even if I encrypt it before it gets to their servers. My database is keys-to-the-kingdom level shit.

      I used to use KeePassXC and it does work wonders. However now I self-host Vaultwarden on my Raspberry Pi 4 NAS. The app on Android is Bitwarden, and you can then update the server to point towards the self hosted Vaultwarden server. In my Google Keyboard, I then have the password entries show up in apps and webpages

      For those interested in self hosting, here’s a good community: https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted

      Oh yeah, someone, finally :D KeepassXC on PC, KeepassDX on Android, Syncthing for synchronization. I like when my password is just one file, that I can easily backup, not some cloud thing 🙂
