Bitwarden is (primarily) a single db synced between devices via a server. A copy is kept locally on each device you sign into.
~~Changes made to an offline copy will sync to the server and your other devices once back online. (with the most recent change to each individual item being kept if there are multiple changes across several devices)~~ /edit: the local copy is for access to your passwords offline. Edits must be made with a connection to the server your account resides on, be that bitwardens or your own.
If you host your own sync server via vaultwarden, you can easily maintain multiple databases (called vaults) either with multiple accounts, or with a single account and the organizations feature. (options for creating vaults separate from your main one and sharing those vaults with multiple accounts) You can do this with regular bitwarden as well, but have to pay for the privilege.
Using vaultwarden also gives you all the paid features of bitwarden for free (as it's self-hosted instead of using public servers)
I've been incredibly happy with it after setting it up ~3 months ago. Worth looking into.
Vaultwarden really is great. The offline edits are my only grime with it. Also I dislike how happily the browser extension discards your inputs when you click outside.
True, the browser extension can be rather annoying. I tend to do any edits through either the android app, or the web page.
Copying seems broken, but it looks like offline edits aren't possible, at least from mobile (https://bitwarden.com/help/using-bitwarden-offline/)
Edit: and now it's a 404
Interesting, that I was not aware of. I've never run into a scenario where I've had to add/edit while offline.
When using vaultwarden however, you can be offline as long as the client can still reach the server (ie they are within the same lan network or are the same machine). You'd still be fine to add/edit while your home wan is out for example, just not on the go.
Plus there's the no-internet package mentioned in that link, but it's limited to the desktop application.
I ran into it occasionally. It was annoying, but easy enough to turn on wireguard then try again.
