      If you can’t selfhost, then you can have your keepass file in your personal cloud. Many basic cloud services are free and the password file itself is encrypted so the cloud provider can’t access your passwords.

      (Edit - I misread as Bitwarden and went off on the wrong tangent. Vaultwarden is not centralized, and it’s FOSS - my bad.)

      The person you’re replying to already gave you one: it’s free.

      Second: its not a prime target for attack like centralized, hosted webservices are. See: LastPass being cracked and people’s login data stolen… Twice.

      Yes, it is cryptographically superior to LastPass, and attempts to design around their flaws - but the threat still exists because its a very tasty target on the open internet for cybercrime.

      My little Keepass DB synched over personal VPN by Syncthing? Much harder to find a vector for attack. But it does require more moving parts and maintenance.

      Each have their pros and cons.

        Web interface, no client software required. I can fire up a brand new machine and access my DB without installing anything.

        I realise now that I can think of one too. Which is that you don’t need to host it anywhere if you use something like Syncthing.

            Bitwarden works offline. Obviously can’t save to the server, but reading from what’s already on your local machine works just fine.
