keepass is a different paradigm. it uses a locally encrypted file. many frontends for it (use keepassxc and keepassdx). dont have to rely on some 3rd party, even if they say they have e2ee. theres no better privacy (and security) for an app than not using it with the internet. im not too concerned about ui for pw manager personally, the less time i spend w it unlocked the better. only (slight) problem for me: multi device usage (i just copy the file onto my phone occasionally). general rule of thumb: if it can be selfhosted, it is best to.

i think bitwarden is the best one of its type, it comes down to your needs and threat model

Idk if anyone else mentioned this but bitwarden can be selfhosted.

I use syncthing to sync my KeePass file, and I highly recommend it. Very easy to set up

I really like the cross device sync, even tho it's a security risk of course. also, I don't know anything about self hosting (might get into it when I got the time), so bitwarden might be the best pw manager for my requirements rn.

It's possible to sync keepass using syncthing, i use it that way.

[–] KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

not on iOS, at least last I looked into it.

Well I have both my kidneys. Edit: there's a fork of it on the app Store called Möbius sync.
