You could just use KeePass: https://keepass.info/ https://keepass.info/ It's a free open source app that runs on your local machine and stores your passwords locally - never uploads your passwords to a server. But it does this securely. And you can run it on multiple machines (and phones) and transfer the passwords (the vault) without ever uploading anything to servers.

Seems useful, the name gave me a chuckle. If I only saw the URL, I would imagine this was a service that providing info on preserving your buttocks.

  It's fitting, good password management is the "watch out for your Cornhole" of the 21st century...

Keepass is great. If you like to have synced database between devices with minimal risk of exposure I would recommend setting it up to use a master password AND generated key file. I do this, then sync my database to cloud/butt and just keep my key file offline and on device only. Edit: I believe you can also use a FIDO/U2F key (yubikey, google titan, etc.) in place of a key file but 2 password lock is great even if someone guesses your master password, the database is still useless without the 2nd key.

Thanks for the tip! I will look into it. I am curious to find out how it syncs without servers. (I assume this is not an incredibly hard problem but we are just not used to doing things without "the cloud" these days)

  it doesn't, it's up to you to manage that. you could use rsync, dropbox, google drive, icloud drive, or whatever mechanism for syncing you like.

  Use any service you want, Syncthing, Dropbox, etc. Keepass is smart about saving. If the DB is modified in the background while it's open, it will merge your changes rather than overwrite.

  Personally, I keep my file on Google Drive and download it wherever it's needed. It does require a bit of manual tracking to ensure I've got the latest file, but I've only got about a handful of devices that I need it for, and even if I don't have the latest version of the file, it just means I might be missing a password for a particular service, and I can quickly download the latest anyway. Obviously it's not as nice as having a cloud service, but it's open-source and doesn't require trusting a third party, which I like.

Uh, can it be true that the author doesn’t use a source code repository?

I found that KeepassXC is a nicer, multi-platform client https://keepassxc.org/ https://keepassxc.org/
