      I haven’t used Bitwarden so I don’t know. It’s totally free though and stored locally. The only issue with this approach (which is much more secure) is there’s no built in syncing between devices. It’s fairly easy to do with Synchthing though so it’s not an issue.

      It can do everything you want a password manager can do. You can generate passwords, have notes and add other fields to entries (so you can store things like security question answers in it too, which you should generate a password for not answer with a real answer). It can connect to your browser with plug-ins for autofill/auto-generate. It has folders for grouping entries. Basically, there’s no feature I can think of that would be useful that it doesn’t have.

        You can store it in the cloud, for example on a Google drive. Desktop KeePass has an extension that lets it use cloud storage, KeePass2Android either has cloud built in our can access Google drive via Android systems

          You can, but it isn’t the default. You have total control over the database is the point. You can do whatever you want with it from there.

            Yep, I just thought it good to call or specifically that it works in the cloud as many users want that
