I am looking for a password manager for my team as well. Keepass on a shared drive is not ideal anymore. Looking forward to seeing recommendations.

I use pass [1].

It's simple, terminal based, easy to back up, and open source.

Yep, Bitwarden gets my vote too. I switched from LastPass (after 5 years of use) earlier this year and am very happy with it so far. Works great on all my devices (Win, Mac, Android).

Does Bitwarden work offline? I thought it needed a server to sync to

I haven't compared them recently, but gopass [0] is compatible with pass. It has a few more features that makes it nice to use with other people.

1Password with the one-time $50 software license + its local WLAN synching functionality + automatically backing up your hdd/ssd locally.

Is this still true?

As far as I can find on their website (and the reason I switched to self hosted Bitwarden) was that they switched to a subscription only model.

You can run your own locally using Docker.

Can you tell us more about your problems with LastPass?

Master Password [0]

- It’s open source

- Mac App does work well (also available as CLI software)

- Possible to make backups

- Works offline (also a Webversion so you have Access to passwords on any machine with internet access)

- No account needed

[0] https://masterpassword.app/

How about Psono? You can host everything on your own (so I assume that would count as "offline), client side encrypted and its free and open source.

Full disclosure I am the main developer behind Psono.

It does work offline and it does need a server to link to. It has a cached copy of your stuff, all still protected by your master password.
