Out of curiosity, why KeePass versus Bitwarden? I've been using Bitwarden for years, but if there's a specific reason I should be using KeePass instead, I'm open to changing.

KeePass is just an encrypted database file with UI around it for usability. You can keep the db on a USB drive, sync it through a cloud storage, e-mail it to yourself, whatever ... It's really not that complicated. BitWarden is the above as a service, I reckon.

Nb. The above refers to KeePassX. No idea what the KeePass without the x is about. Naming things. So hard.

It's a program with a file database.

No fancy browser plugins, the ability to autotype, the db file could be synced with anything you can sync files.

Working search - not sure about BW, but it's opensource implementation (Vaultwarden nowadays?) simply didn't allow to search for the fields you didn't scroll yet to.

The biggest problem is lack of multi-edit functionality - you need keep it in mind if you leave somehwere a copy running 24/7.

Bitwarden has taken investor money, sadly. It's still in good shape for the moment. But the time will come when they place profits above other needs; it's a matter of when, not if.

Luckily offering enterprise / credential sharing features is a decent freemium model. It still wins out in keeping compatibility with self hosted vaultwarden, are there other extensions that let you point to your own domain for the encrypted blob storage?
