I used KeepassXC and Keepass2Android but the implementation seems a bit janky at times and the need to sync it manually or let it sync via a cloud is not all that comfortable.
I switched to Bitwarden about a month ago and consider it still as a test phase for now. I'm not that happy with just having my passwords lying around on a random cloud server.
I use KeepassXC and Keepass2Android Offline and sync everything with syncthing. Works without any issue very reliable since years.
You can always self host your bitwarden instance if you want.
For me, bitwarden is a good middle ground, it's super easy to setup, works super well on desktop and android, and it's still way better than using the same 8 character password everywhere. I think it's easier to recommend as a starter to anyone that's not using a password manager.
That's super helpful. Not just privately but also on a business side, since we're looking to replace our current solution that's basically discontinued.
Have the exact same setup, I spun up a vaultwarden container to test it out. I might swap over, and since i have vpn at home it is very easy for me to sync at any time.
I self host vaultwarden which is more lightweight but compatible with all the apps server part.
