Hi y'all! Sorry for asking so much on this sub! Y'all have been so helpful!

This time, I'm thinking of transitioning from 1Password to a self-hosted option.

Of course I know about Bitwarden, and I'm looking into it now, but are there any other recommendations y'all have? Have y'all heard of and used Passbolt? It seems nice, but it looks like it only does passwords and not other categories like 1Password does.

A few things of note: I'd like it to have different categories, a la 1Password. (Logins, SSN, ID, member card #, etc) Maybe multi-user so I can have an account for my wife. Password generator of course, and I'm not sure if y'all are familiar too much with 1password, but it allows you to customize the fields in each entry. So it starts with the basics (username, password, url), but it allows you to add sections and entries too! I could add a "security" and add my 2FA code on there, my backup codes, etc.

Honestly, that last one is a biggie, so I think I might be talking myself out of moving over now, but I'm sure that AgileBits or whatever the company is called will abandon, if it hasn't already, 1Password 7 with local vaults, in favor of 1Password 8 that only uses 1password subscription accounts.

Sorry for the rant and wall of text. Thank y'all in advance.

Update on July 21, 2023

I decided to self-host Vaultwarden as it was designed to be a lightweight (on resources) version of Bitwarden. For Android, I'm using the "Keyguard" app to access my instance, and the official Bitwarden browser extension on my wife's MacBook. 1password fucked me over, and I had to manually copy every password 1 by 1, luckily I only had ~500 entries.

I'm still doing some research into the best app for android (the official Bitwarden is ugly, and Keyguard is pretty, but I'm still looking around.)

Thank each and every one of you for taking time to answer my question!

If you only use Linux CLI and live in the terminal: pass

There are frontends to pass [1] for different systems, including mobile ones ;) and probably the official list is not complete.

edit: For CLI I prefer gopass [2]

I just wonder how easy it would be to sync between clients, KeePass style, because you also have to send your GPG keystore around to all your clients too, right?

If you already have gpg set up it's quite easy to just sync it with git. Then your server only needs to be online when you want to sync.

You can (probably should) use different keys per device, and works wonderfully with Yubikey or other gpg hardware keys if you want extra safety.
