Keepass vault synced over syncthing.
I keep not regretting it.
I've always loved Keepass, however I moved away from it in 2012 as it and any file based vault has brute forcing issues. You need to track every copy of it that has been made and if any copy falls out of your hands, like if you lose a device, you need to do a password rotation on 100% of your passwords. Since its a file, its not possible to prevent brute forcing.
Well this ain't good. I don't really feel like switching apps.
That's how they get you. Jump ship now
Anyone looking at this...what alternatives are out there?
This is disheartening.
sigh
so what's the best pw manager?
Proton Pass is open source and the company that runs it recently reincorporated as a Swiss non-profit to ensure their privacy mission can't be bought out by venture capitalists etc.
Vaultwarden is a nice self hosted bitwarden alternative

Some prefer using KeepassXC and sync the database between devices

+1 For KeePassXC and the KeePass ecosystem. Yes, you need to sync the database yourself, but you can use any file sharing service you like, e.g. google drive, dropbox... or selfhost something like nextcloud (like I do), which for me is actually a point in its favor.
Based on this news, I think I made the right choice back then when I decided to go with KeePass.
As someone who used to use KeePass, went to LastPass, and then Bitwarden (Vaultwarden), I finally got my non-tech literate wife to use Bitwarden. I’m concerned that KeePass might end up being more difficult if it comes down to it. I believe that KeePass had some sort of browser integration but it really has been a long time since I used it so who knows the current state. Curious how browser integration is today.
Vaultwarden is Bitwarden--at least for now, this change may push them apart.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
