I never understood the appeal of web-based password managers. KeePass all the way, all offline, no randomly changing UI, everything in a single .db file. Need syncing? Use Cloud storage service.
Can it fill passwords in iPhone Safari?

Yes, via the KeePassium client: https://github.com/keepassium/KeePassium As with all iOS apps, there’s no guarantee that the open source app code on GitHub corresponds to what you install from the App Store. I have been very satisfied with KeePassium, it integrates with all the cloud storage providers I’d want and the app itself works well.

#14What alternatives do you recommend?
Recently switched over from a premium Bitwarden account to it. Import from Bitwarden was a breeze.
Note that KeepassXC only writes to a local encrypted db file. Syncing that across devices is left to you. I used Syncthing for that.

So it doesn't really solve my problem

#17I left Bitwarden as soon as they started using dark patterns in their UI. They got in the way instead of enhancing the user experience.
What dark patterns have you observed that I should keep an eye out for?
Eg for Keypass and authenticator.

#18That's a big deal to some, no doubt, but it's important to be precise about language in cases like this, especially since folks will undoubtedly assume that this means secret user-hostile things will now be embedded in the source code, sight-unseen.

No support for passkeys, either.
