Earlier quoted context omitted.
I use keepassxc on MacOS, Windows, Linux, along with MiniKeePass on iOS. It's synced through my free Dropbox account. I just make sure to set the preferences so that every change to the key database results in a file save.

#162Apps used for Mac, Linux, windows, browser integration also works fine. All boxes are checked, don't know why isn't it popular among masses or nerd community.

#163I wonder, why not a single word has been spoken about Keepass/X, which is available on all platforms (not sure about iOS, though), can work with UbiKeys, afaik, has huge im- and export support and is free from any corporate interests.

The decentralised alternative is to use something like SyncThing[0]. It's what I use and is only slightly more involved. [0] https://syncthing.net
Re: Evaluation of five password managers
#165That's a thorough comparison. I just wanted to make an attempt on why someone should consider using Zoho Vault for password management.
Zoho Vault is an online password manager for teams, used by more than 20,000 small and medium sized companies across the globe. We offer client-side encryption, multi-platform support, auto-fill, auto login websites and cloud apps, fine-grained password sharing, bulk folder sharing with user groups, audit, reports, two-factor & multi-factor authentication, US/EU data centers, browser extensions (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), and mobile apps (iOS, Android, Windows), option to maintain personal vault.
Integrations: G Suite, Microsoft Office 365, Zoho Mail, Zoho Desk, OKTA, OneLogin, Single Sign-On for 90+ Cloud Apps, Windows Active Directory/LDAP, Azure Active Directory
Disclaimer: I work for Zoho Vault. If you need a comparison document of Zoho Vault with any product, drop an email to support@zohovault.com.

#166Glad to see Bitwarden up on top. They tick all the boxes for me - open source, transparent security (including recently published audit), feature-rich, optional self-hosted, and easy to use.
Used to be a keepass user until I found bitwarden. It does everything better, more simply. Sync is handled so much better and the browser extensions are super intelligent at picking up login fields.
Re: Evaluation of five password managers
#167The main selling points for me were that it's open source and they allow you to host it yourself.
Apart from these, I really enjoy the browser addons which don't require any jumping through hoops[1] and that they provide their own Android client and you don't have to play Play Store Columbus to find a decent one. It can also be used as an autofill service which allows it to interact with other apps which is incredibly useful.
But because nothing in this world is perfect, the downsides so far are:
1. Lack of shortcuts to copy only the username or only the password and forcing me to reach for the mouse. That's really annoying.
2. With KeepassXC you could have a keyfile that you was necessary to unlock your database while Bitwarden doesn't have that option. They do provide 2FA[2] but only TOTP and email for the free version (although $10/year for the premium subscription, arguably, is not much).

#168I only found out about Bitwarden a few weeks ago and it got me to change from KeepassXC and I'm overall very happy with the change.

KeepassXC is open source too. And it does not require hosting. You can simply store your db onto a synced folder between devices and that's about the same anyway.
As for your comment regarding browser addons, I am not sure what "hoops" you are referring to. I installed the browser addons for KeePassXC and it took 5 minutes to setup and I have had no issue since. And the link you refer to is pretty self explanatory. Maybe Bitwarden makes that even more simple, but it's not that KeePassXC is utterly complex in the first place either.
On Android, KeePassDX is a good client that works with KeePassXC databases.

#169No mention of enpass.io, i found their method to be completely safe. Encrypted sqlite files, shared across Dropbox/onedrive/Google-drive. Apps used for Mac, Linux, windows, browser integration also works fine. All boxes are checked, don't know why isn't it popular among masses or nerd community.

Thanks for the recommendation for KeePassDX, I will take a look.
