> You might run out of services then at some point

I prefer using services for my password management (I'm a bitwarden user who's currently happy as well), but I would jump back to some sort of self-hosted or even offline/manual sync solution if I thought that was the only way to keep my passwords safe. I like the convenience of a service, but I would sacrifice it over my security if it got to the point where I had to choose between the two.



KeePass on a Google Drive or iCloud setup is pretty easy.


KeePassXC & KeePassDX + Syncthing is also pretty simple.


I actually used to use KeePassXC and have my (encrypted) password file sync'd through Dropbox, but their Android client changed to no support a way to have the file stored offline but also automatically sync changes, so I ended up swapping to Bitwarden. In the past I had used Nextcloud instead of Dropbox, so that would probably be one of my first ideas if I did end up deciding to stop using bitwarden.


Any reason not to use Password Safe[1]? It seems to do it all and doesn't require you to trust some Move Fast And Break Things startup's online service.
