Just use SyncThing or Resilio Sync and practice on an example dummy database with KeepPass rather than get all these random companies involved.
Practice with a keyfile but be very careful. Gets rid of all this "external authentication" bullshit that makes stuff like this even possible. Either you know and have the keyfile or you don't, no need for companies that acts as authenticators.
1password is an amazing service. I use to use keeppass but the family, shared vaults and web extensions are worth it.
Nothing was really breached here in their end.
Thats ok but they're non-starter for me (if someone who's super non-technie needed a pm I would likely recommend it if they're really bad), I need to own everything and not have to worry about subscriptions or servers or whatever
I understand the want to own all your data. But if there is any company I would stick up for it's the 1password folks. Even if your subscription expires you still keep access to your info and can export it. It goes into a read only mode.
I also have 2fa on my account. Is that possible with keeppass yet?
If it wasn't always so, it definitely is now.
The more important part to me is easy data portabillity but also that I wanna pay for it once and never have to worry. Actually bought 1Password 7 and that did not age well... :/ Bitwarden was actually a lifesaving stopgap measure and I vowed to never be dependant on a venture/startup/big player password managers ever again and I absolutely do not trust Keychain and also it sucks.
Selfhost Vaultwarden
I wonder if thats more or less "fussy" than what I suggested. Is there a good video walkthrough you know of so folks can preview what it entails/"looks like"?
