I've set up Vaultwarden as I used Bitwarden before that and it made switching very easy. Doesn't get easier than that, synced passwords across all your devices/browsers.
I was using Bitwarden up until I moved my email service to Proton. Now, I just use all their things, but I didn't have any issues with Bitwarden personal. I do have some issues with their organization accounts though.

Like what? And is Proton Pass open-source?
Proton Pass. If you're comfortable with cloud E2EE managers, it's far more worth it than Bitwarden, since you get unlimited email aliases. Better for privacy and even security. Plus, I trust Proton, they have a phenomenal track record in terms of security and encryption.

I read that they have bowed to email subpoenas in the past.
Every company would. They're not going to go out of business over one customer. What's important is that they weren't able to give any important information.
I'm agnostic about password managers, and I'm agnostic about sync'ing password repositories between devices. I believe there would be grave risks of losing access to my own repositories by misplacing their pass-phrases or bungling other kinds of authentication. I try not to put anything on portable devices that is super confidential. On the other hand, I restrict physical access to my desktop computer. I back it up continually, power it from an uninterruptible power supply, and run only a handful of server-side processes there. ... so I feel safe ... sort of.
I suppose it may seem heretical to members of this community, but I put all my passwords in a plain-text *.csv file on my desktop machine that I maintain with my own python script.
passwords.txt
on a full-disk encryption HDD.
What if the HDD catches on fire or the room gets flooded while you're not home?
I backup stuff both on a MicroSD and on web storage with duplicity
. Hopefully that is enough!
