In November 2022, the password manager service LastPass disclosed a breach in which hackers stole password vaults containing both encrypted and plaintext data for more than 25 million users. Since then, a steady trickle of six-figure cryptocurrency heists targeting security-conscious people throughout the tech industry has led some security experts to conclude that crooks likely have succeeded at cracking open some of the stolen LastPass vaults.

Exactly. Every password manager has its vulnerabilities, so there's always a trade-off between different security measures. The lack of networking is KeePass's big draw.

The big issue I have is syncing. Do you happen to know if there are any differencing tools keepass.

I like to have only various subsets of my data on some devices and accounts. So way to partition, difference, and merge would be nice.

I have no idea, I'm afraid. Your use-case is more complex than mine. I'd be inclined to say maybe seeing what you can do with the import and export tools, especially since you can use .csv files that you can edit between export and import.

You'd need to have different files for different subsets, then, and use some sort of cloud storage for sync

No need for cloud storage, just use a peer to peer data replication product like Syncthing. Fully encrypted, data is only stored on the end devices, entirely controlled by the user.
