What Nextcloud password manager do you use and recommend?

I am using the default namesake. I like it except for the Linux desktop client which has awful UI, no password adding or export. Passman looks good, and like NC Password it has browser ext. and an Android app - but it has no Linux desktop client at all. Authpass looks good also, but has no Nextcloud browser app. I am not sure if the desktop client can export or search passwords. It is concerning that if NC goes down that there is no local database - or one that is useful.

Any others?

NC Password works well, but does require the server to be up -- that can be a painpoint. Keeping an encrypted CSV/spreadsheet backup of your passwords for offline use is one option. Another option might be to see if this Linux Desktop Nextcloud app is still functional: https://gitlab.com/j0chn/nextcloud_password_client

Yes, but an encrypted spreadsheet (which I have) is always going to be old. The NC client is terrible! You have to change the theme every time to read the text. You cannot add a new password, search or export the db.
