I’ve considered this but it’s a hassle dealing with cross device sync. I’ve tried to store my DB file on Google drive. I’ve tried to store everything in a Git repo. But in the end, stuff always ends up in the cloud.

I’m not sure why it’s a hassle? I use syncthing-fork to sync with my Raspberry Pi. It’s pretty low maintenance and I haven’t really had any issues. Passwords are too important to trust to a third-party, and LassPass has show on several occasions how stupid it is to trust a third-party cloud provider with your passwords.

Also, BitWarden has a big drawback for me on desktop, and that is it can’t auto-type passwords - which is unacceptable for me, since I spend a lot of time working out of remote desktop windows and VMs as part of my job.

LOL

Continues to explain how it is a hassle (syncthing, fork, raspberry pi, …)

Btw. there’s pretty good autotype for Bitwarden/Valutwarden and I find it at least on par with the KeePass feature. You don’t even need to install the full blown client for it to work! https://github.com/anonymous1184/bitwarden-autotype

Google drive is the cloud.

Bitwarden doesnt rely on the cloud either. You can host it yourself or use another backend like Vaultwarden.

If I’m hosting it myself then I might as well just use KeePass right? Bitwarden doesn’t add any value at that point besides keeping the passwords in sync - which is a non issue for me, because that’s already covered as part of the greater equation of keeping my files in general in sync.
