Vault synchronization between devices without needing to self-host anything, for free

#6Does it have syncing 2fa support? That's what keeping me paying for 1Password.
I know it's controversial, it's a risk I'm willing to take.

#7I am a happy user and find it very convenient but how safe is it really to have all your jewels centralized in the cloud, including 2FA. It seems such a worthwhile target.
On the other hand keeping everything in sync manually seems a hassle and in the end you just encrypt on your machine and the syncing goes through the cloud anyway, so where's the difference? I'd be happy to hear thoughts on this.

Nothing. Adding 2FA codes to logins costs money, and self-hosting is deliberately difficult so you’ll be using the cloud.
Also you can’t edit while offline.

Same boat. I'm also curious how does device sync happen with bitwarden - from a cursory glance it seems to rely on their cloud. Can you manually manage the database file, like with keepass?

#10Bitwarden is great. I use it everywhere and it manages passwords well. The key feature for me is the ease of use of "organizations", which allows me to share passwords with my wife easily. A lot of accounts regarding our financials or children are shared, so we both need the password. Bitwarden makes this trivial.
