I know password manger services are super convenient, and probably worth the cost for most, especially non technical users. But my preference has always been to manually manage my own local KeyPass database. Sure it’s more cumbersome when it comes to syncing between devices, but it’s really not a big deal. One or twice a month I will combine my DBs from all my devices ok one machine, use the built in ‘merge’ function…
I wasn't quite ready to self promote this but I will go ahead anyway, since people are probably researching alternatives now. I'm working on a comparison of different password managers. https://password-manager.soft-wa.re/ At this point it's mainly a fork&merge of some previous work. If you find any issues with the data please submit a PR. Edit: I am standing on the shoulders of giants. Take a look at the contributor…
Some good points in there, but limited pragmatism.
Password managers should be held to a high standard but we should also never depend just on a password for protection of anything of value.

Is there any password manager out there besides keepass that isn't cloud based?

Great overview! I think 1Password's Linux support has been improving [0]. I use 1Password with an Ubuntu desktop and have been happy with it. [0]: https://support.1password.com/explore/linux/

I personally really love having an in-browser password manager. It's an incredible convenience and it lets every service have a unique and nearly impossible to crack password.
I have far too many services to remember them all, and using the same password for everything would be terrible.
But of course I see the risk of having "one password to rule them all" and putting so much faith in one service. If it fails, losing everything is possible.
I don't mind paying of course if there's a reason to, though for now the free version of Bitwarden has been fine for years.

Last year my father unexpectedly passed away. All his stuff was on lastpass. Thankfully we had emergency access setup, and I was able to get into all his accounts 2 days later. It was an exceptionally important part of the transition phase, and without it we would have experienced significant financial harm.
How would KeyPass deal with the same type of situation?
