Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

You could add keepassxc as an option for those who don't want a hosted service at all. You can still exchange the storage file with other computers if you have to (via USB stick, mail, nextcloud etc)
I second this option. I use it because there's an app that supports the file format for pretty much every platform.
What do you use in iOS?
Thanks, I’ll have a look!
I also use keepassium and sync with Drive
Check out Strongbox. I can't say I've used it, I'm on Android, but it seems good.
I use strongbox, it is pretty good.
Yeah strongbox is what I use and it’s very very good, albeit pricey. Just wondering if something else was around!
And can use syncthing to sync between your devices
My setup right here. I'd rather use my own tools to sync passwords instead of a cloud database
You can also add to that
pass
which names istelf the "standard UNIX password manager", altough it's just a nice frontend for gpg.Don't forget that git is doing the archiving here ^^ And pass is great when your need to share a password store with someone. Just add their hog key and let them checkout the git repo
Do you know of a "keepass for dummies"? I've tried to figure out how to use it, but reading the readme on GitHub just makes me feel like an idiot.
Was there anything particularly confusing? I can try and clear it up.
You can go on the KeePass downloads page and find a client that works for you. I like using Keepassium on my iPhone and KeePassXC on my laptop.
I finally figured it out. I'm using KeepassXD on Android and it's not very user friendly. I still haven't figured out what the unlabeled teardrops are that can be "enabled" or disabled.
Maybe try keepass2android instead
I feel like this option is honestly worse for most people. You have the new security problem of having to transfer the file everywhere, but now the huge inconvenience of potentially losing it or not having it on a new device.
I don't think transferring the file is a security problem, with hosted services you need to transfer the secrets somehow as well. And cannot choose how they are synced and must rely on the server being secured (in case that component is not hosted by you). Since it is synced to all devices, you are basically having a distributed backup of it already. But I agree, initial setup is a slight bit more work.
And KeepassDX for Android :D
