You probably can't trust your password manager if it's compromised

I always keep my keepass databases offline for good
IMO Its fine to sync them with syncthing, as that's end to end encrypted.
Bitwarden offers offline also. And self hosting I believe.
I need to search this KeePass. I read it in other comments, but I have never heard of it before.
KeyPassXC is the way to go, IMO. It is wonderful. The password db is stored locally on your disk. It integrates nicely with firefox and probably other browsers too. Open source, no spyware, "just works".
It's pretty good. I was using pass but keypassxc is easier. It also handles passkeys well. Here it is on Windows: https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/keepassxc-portable. For Linux, just search for it in the package manager. Not sure about Mac.
KeepassXC is also available for Mac.
