What’s is the difference between keepass synced by X and another service which is completely online? Simplified with keepass I have a) the database and b) an online accessible Location for storage. If I use Bitwarden, I still have a) and b), right? So for keepass to be better it would need to be better (as in safer) for one of those. I’m not sure if that’s the case (you can even selfhost both Bitwarden and nextcloud to have „trusted“ storage, although it shouldn’t matter). But: if you don’t need multiple devices, Keepass is the surest choice.
With that in mind, I’m rolling with Bitwarden (maximal security afaik and great usability - it’s even linked with my iPhone) for personal stuff and keepass for work as I only have one machine I need passwords on. I don’t like Setting up something to sync a file if I don’t need to, so I’d never use keepass for multiple devices
- JackGreyhat 5y agoUsing keepass would decouple password management from your browser. Bitwarden, for example, usually runs as a browser addon.

- dtx1 5y agoFor one, it's completly free. I use a free nextcloud 1gig instance, you might use dropbox, onedrive, gdrive whatever. I don't think a trivial application like a password safe should require a personal server or a suscription, as the author rightly noted, it's not much more than a very, very small key value store
- codazoda 5y agoOne advantage is that the password manager encrypts the password database on your device. So the encryption part is decoupled from the online service part.
