Currently running KeePassX. Maybe I'll give this a whirl. The key concept with the KeePass family of projects is that your passwords remain on your device, and don't get synced to some cloud you have no control over.
I moved from KeepPassX to XC recently. It has the same features but the user interface is so much better. The android app is great too. I use rclone to sync my keepass file to Google Drive which means it is always up to date on my phone too
KeePassXC and Bitwarden are the best password managers in existence right now: KeePassXC if you want to be disconnected from the cloud and Bitwarden if you want both the convenience of cloud-based password management AND high security.
how is your experience in a browser? I honestly tried to use Bitwarden, paid for premium for one time key feature and browser extensions comparing to 1pass are much less convenient. For instance, an ability to manage multiple website (e.g. google) accounts is priceless
If you have two logins for the same service with the same URLs they'll appear in the browser extension with the username shown by the title.
If you're instead talking about using the same login credentials on multiple sites, it can do that as well, just edit the item and add a second URL to the site. Now that item will appear on both site URLs

A habit I carried over from using KeePassXC is that I don't use a browser extension. Call it paranoia but I don't want the browser process to have the ability to reach into my password manager. What I do is pin the Bitwarden tab open and just copy & paste where needed. For the desktop app it would be awesome if it had an auto-type feature like KeePassXC (something that mystifies coworkers who see that in action for t…

You're also potentially opening yourself up to any apps/tools that are keeping an eye on your clipboard if you're copying and pasting. Auto-type might help with that, but I also wouldn't hold my breath for such a feature coming.

You're losing out on certain types of phishing protections by doing this.

Android app? Which one?
I’ve been using KeePassXC almost as long as it’s been available, and couldn’t be happier. Database stored on my NAS and synced to Dropbox for when I’m out, gives me access on all my devices without having to worry about whether x or y service will still be around in a year or 2.
One thing that was a killer feature for me: keepass2Android was WAY better to in integration to my android devices. Tried to convince family to use a password manager, but lastpass was a failure on some devices. Keepass with sync to some cloud is perfect - database with multiple copies, works well.

For sharing between devices I found Firefox Send to be useful (before it went down, hope it comes back), also Keybase filesystem is one of my go-tos as well.
Maybe I’m being overly cautious, but I sleep better at night knowing my DBs are encrypted.
