I use a Gnome implementation of this and it works great too.

Yeah it’s worth considering risks. If I lose access to my credentials it would be a ridiculous amount of work to recover, probably losing access to some things forever.

Bitwarden caches passwords locally so if your self hosted instance goes down or is inaccessible to can still access those cached credentials and OTP codes.

I tested this thoroughly and was very nervous that a server outage at home would lock me out of the credentials I need in order to fix it. It’s been good enough for me to get by until I can fix whatever is broken.

I’ve had a good experience self hosting Bitwarden (using Vaultwarden). I’ve printed off some instructions for my wife or family to gain access in case something happens to me. I haven’t done this yet but I also want to occasionally export my vault to an encrypted USB to keep alongside things like passports and birth certificates.

Those might be good options for you too considering the risks you’ve outlined.

I self host Bitwarden (aka Vaultwarden) and recommend that to anyone who is comfortable hosting a container. For everyone else I still think Bitwarden cloud is the best most trustworthy free cloud credential manager.

KeePass rules though, I used it for years. I no longer recommend it mostly due to the difficulty of securely syncing the database which generally forces people to rely on a cloud provider anyway.

This is probably the most ‘old man yells at cloud’ thing about me but I hate voice assistants and they have yet to work consistently enough to be worth my time.

It is completely insane to me that something simple like “Add ____ to the grocery list” has worked and stopped working multiple times for years now. How hard is that to get right? Cannot believe such a simple action is so inconsistent.
