I know exactly how to do it, I've tried out what has been described above. I've got a lab for stuff I want to tinker with, but a password manager is seen as an "essential service" to me like e-mail and music. I'd much prefer to pay a bit per month and have a team of professionals deal with it if the servers go down. If at the end of the day my home server breaks and I want to get on and watch Amazon Prime/Netflix/whatever I still can with a hosted password manager. I value my time and sanity a lot more than £2 a month.

That's a fair point! But depending on your setup, it's also possible to replicate the password database file to every single device of yours on the network. Currently doing just that, if any of my servers go down, i can still access all of my passwords on my desktop, on my laptop, on my tablet, on my phone or on my backup servers. Of course, provided that i have KeePass or a mobile app installed and know the master password. Oh and I do manual backups to SD cards just to be sure every month. I'm not sure how I'd do that with a cloud service where in a sense their entire company (and my network connection to it) is a single point of failure. If my internet connection goes down, how would I log in to my selfhosted software in my homelab over LAN, without being able to access the passwords?
