> haven't read why Bitwarden would be superior

1. Out-of-the-box integrated sync with a dedicated default host: keepass has 8 different sync plugins, all with different levels of maintenance & UX, each for separate sync backends, all requiring separate 3rd party backend account setup

2. Consistent cross-device features & UX: Keepass has 3 browser plugins with varying levels of browser support (not sure if any have mobile support?)

On top of the above, Bitwarden is open source and allows self-hosted sync



I didn't know KeePass(XC) had sync plugins, let alone eight, since I just sync the file myself as part of the same infrastructure that syncs everything else under my homedir.


Yeah I just have my KeePass file in my own Nextcloud and I can access it on any device. I have never needed to mess with a sync plugin.


Do you sync your homedir to your phone? I presume you're an android user?


Linux user. My phone runs postmarketOS.


3. Easy password sharing, free for 2 person organizations.


Yes! This too. My partner & I have used this for shared / family / household billing accounts / etc. for years.
