The main difference for me is if you want to use it on multiple devices, for example your computer and your phone.
In bitwarden this is seamless because it always saves to the cloud. With keepass you have to manually set up the file sharing with syncthing/dropbox/etc. One problem I had is that sometimes the file sync I set up wouldn't work properly and I'd add new passwords on the phone before it received the latest file version from the computer. When that happens you end up with some passwords that are only on the computer and some that are only on the phone, which is something that syncthing can't fix by itself.

- mikece 6y agoThis was the biggest reason I moved from KeePassXC to BitWarden. If I'm only creating new accounts on my phone then sending those credentials to my self via Signal or Wire is no big deal (update on my desktop, synch to iCloud, pull down new KDBX file on my phone for Strongbox which I use in readonly mode). If I'm creating account credentials on a platform where I don't have Signal or Wire installed (a shared Chrimebook, for example) then what... sending to myself by email draft? Add in mobile testing on devices on which a factory reset is regularly executed then it becomes an even easier choice in favor of BitWarden. My experiences are my own; KeePassXC allows a much higher level of security than anything that's cloud-based but it's also not as convenient to use. For me, that makes Bitwarden the "right" choice. I only used one computer all the time then I would use KeePassXC without a doubt.
