The pro is you remain fully in control of your password database and you can host it the way you like. And all features are free since you don't rely on someone else's infrastructure.
I use Syncthing on my devices to keep the database in sync, and I let it deal with the file versioning just in case something happens.
The con is that it doesn't always feel as polished as other password managers, but that's mostly a personal taste thing. I use KeeWeb on my desktop/laptop, and KeePass2Android on my smartphone.

- graton 6y agoAgreed. Though self-hosting is an option, not a requirement. For my case I installed Bitwarden-rs on my Synology box at home in a container. I realize most people don't want to do that, but for me it was relatively easy. I only allow access to it from inside my home-network.
