Time to recommend alternatives?!
Nothing has beaten KeePass for me so far. It takes a bit of setting up if you want your database to sync among all your devices, but in other aspects it's perfect for me
EDIT: In case you're curious, I use KeePassXC on PC, KeePassDX on Android, and Syncthing to sync the database.
What drove me (and my family) from KeePass to Bitwarden was the family sharing and survivor access.
Until KeePass supports these if's not really up to par with Bitwarden.
Especially digital legacy management is a must have for a well rounded password manager.
keepassXC supports passkeys though.
That's cool. Bitwarden also has a blue icon if we're talking about other unrelated features.
Don't know if it has changed but there was a reason I went to vaultwarden. Syncing was a pain it is probably better now but not looking to go back.
Same setup here, can recommend.
I use both same products, just manually copy to phone periodic as my vault is pretty static
Made the move from bitwarden not that long ago, actually a bit before their price increase (just timing not because of it). Nothing bad about BW to say, it worked great for me for years.
My motivation was wanting my password manager fully offline.
Keepass are fantastic programs, and actually now more pleased with my move after seeing some negative moves from BW I needn't be concerned with
+1 for Keepass!
How do I import too KeePassDX because it only accepts .kdbx format?
Proton Pass is a valid option.

How vulnerable is a VaultWarden setup to splash damage from BitWarden enshittery? I would go absolutely ham on VaultWarden if it's independant enough from this kind of move.
I’m already hosting VaultWarden locally and would also like to know. It seems like a project that could continue independently but I’d love to hear from someone with more information.
I mean, if you read the OP, it says at the end. The clients are Apache2 and can just be formed if the API starts drifiting.
