Which password manager to use? (sopuli.xyz)

I currently use KeepassXC that is synced through NextCloud. The sync isn't very elegant, especially on my phone. So I'm looking for a new password manager, which has a native server sync support that I can self host. What do y'all recommend? I need at least a phone app and a browser integration that can autofill.

If you can't self host --> KeePass If you can self host --> Vaultwarden

Is VW audited in the same way that BW is?

I'm not completely sure, but doesn't Bitwarden encrypt all data before it reaches the server? That means the server implementation is a bit less important. I guess you probably don't want to be leaking even encrypted databases though since there is a chance they could be cracked.

Really I don't know, surely a bit less but in my opinion, not that much

I hear good thing about Vaultwarden, but the web UI is horrible.

Vaultwarden's web UI is very confusing, especially the search feature. And it's difficult to move items between folders/collection. The desktop app is available as DEB/RPM package but without auto-update, which isn't great.

Fon now I'm sticking to KeepassXC because the desktop app for my Linux distribution has a package for it and allows auto-update. The UI works well, and it has decent browser integration. Syncing isn't smooth, but I can live with this.

Vaultwarden is not to be used in itself you can for example use the bitwarden app but with your vaultwarden server

You're right. Above, I was referring to the bitwarden desktop app. See https://github.com/bitwarden/desktop

It's an electron app, and there's no auto-update solution for DEB packages (ie no DEB repo for apt auto update).

Some people are probably happy with it, but I prefer KeepassXC which is more lightweight (ie not electron based) and can auto update via APT.
