In the latest episode of "they will always sell you out" - they sold you out! Who would've thought.

Hoping for a good alternative client to appear, the writing is on the wall. Vaultwarden can't exist without "leeching" off of Bitwarden.

No, KeePass. Fully open source, no cloud involved in any way, unless you want something to sync your data (the server only ever sees your encrypted database - all encryption and decryption is done locally). You can also host your own sync server using any of a variety of different protocols.

    Yep. Seconding this!

    KeePass + Syncthing is the best.

    Back up the database(s) regularly. (Syncthing can also retain x number of versions and things like that, but also do your own 3-2-1 backups.)

    You can use something as simple as a Pi, or an old laptop, or even an old phone if you get creative, as an always-on syncthing server to keep them synchronized. KeePassXC even has a fancy integration with Firefox, so all you gotta do is unlock your database and click autofill on websites.

    Edit: lmao seriously, not like I care but what's there to downvote about this? 😂

    I use KeePass + KeeAnywhere. KeeAnywhere will sync with a wide variety of cloud storage providers. Or your own S3 data bucket server (can be self hosted or on Amazon), if you prefer. Does pretty much the same thing though with versioning. Auto filling in Firefox is done with KeePassHttp-connector on the Firefox side and the KeePassHTTP plugin in KeePass. Similar to what you describe.

    Yup, been doing this combo for 5-6 years now.

    I use KeePassXC on desktop and KeePassDX on Android. No issues whatsoever.

    I do have a NAS so that's my "always on" device for Syncthing. Everything syncs up within like 10-15 seconds when a device connects.

    I also use a key file as a pseudo 2FA that I keep on a flash drive, so you'd need my master password and my key file to unlock the database.
