I find KeePassX plus Owncloud to be perfect for my needs. I have all my passwords with me and even if there are some synchronisation issues every once in a while, it works out sufficiently well and is very low-maintenance.

#102Does anyone use Keeper? Or have thoughts in general on that?

#103I'm all in on Bitwarden at this point. It's the place where I keep all my credit cards, secure notes and about a 500 logins. A vast majority of these logins have passwords generated by Bitwarden itself. I'm confident even if BW goes down I can still recover my data since the vault works offline too. While the browser extension could use some UX work the mobile apps have been top-notch and sharing passwords with my sp…
Sounds like you're very happy with Bitwarden, and confident that if they go down you wouldn't lose access to your secrets. Can I ask why the desire to switch to Vaultwarden? I assume if a significant slice of the userbase did this, the project would suffer—so I'm asking this question genuinely as an avid Bitwarden supporter myself. I hope they don't have to rely solely on VC funding, seems that VCs motives would be p…
The main reason I'm switching is for the fun in it and having my data under my complete control. And, to save some money, for me and some friends, for whatever it is worth.

#104Earlier quoted context omitted.
Does it support notes, attachments, etc.? Last time I checked it didn’t seem to, which makes it unviable if you use those features in your password manager.
It does support secure notes but you have to use macs keychain access app.

Note that file attachments are not stored in the json file that contains the vault, so if you care about those you still have to back them up some other way.

How good is for iOS/OSX? I use enpass and if I don't open it all the time (and retype the master pwd!) then it not catch most logins and now I have a lot of that into the Apple system instead. I wonder which one is truly transparent (I work mostly on Mac/iOS but still need other platforms)

FYI: KeePassX had its last release in 10/2016 and the development has been stopped: https://www.keepassx.org/index.html%3Fp=636.html

#108I exclusively self host vault warden behind a VPN and firewall with a custom domain. Changes are automatically managed and deployed through GitHub CI/CD. I have wireguard VPN on all my devices tunneled into my server. I also self-host the VPN since vaultwarden runs on a local Docker intranet. If people are interested, I was going to write a step by step blog. Less technical, but I also get yubikey and duo 2factor pus…
