May I ask why? If you have to maintain state with a Google Sheet, syncing is necessary. What benefit is there to this approach?

  The benefit is that most of the time I don’t need to the Google Sheet since I can usually remember the key and it is more for passwords with weird rules or ones I don’t use often. As for why stateless, it is much less work to get a new machine up and running. Plus, it is much friendlier at my current job since I can’t even send a word doc out to my personal email much less syncing a password vault. Much easier to have one stateless manager and separate spreadsheets for storing metadata.

    It's not stateless though - it's a (hopefully) eventually consistent heterogeneous distributed database.

      It's probably 90% stateless, with username being email and version being 1, plus probably remembering the exceptions to sites you use often.

    well keepassxc has a portable version on Windows (and a similar appimage on linux) so if you can run it from a USB in your place of work then you wouldn't need to set anything up each time you use a new comptuer. you could also download your keepass file from something like dropbox either, but that would be a bit more effort if you were creating new passwords in work since you would have to upload it again after
