    If your goal is to “self-host” a password manager, you might as well use Keepass + SyncThing.

    • free software
    • master password protected
    • has organization and auto-fill features
    • can sync across multiple devices

    Usually the downfall of rolling your own password manager is it’s easier to make mistakes and accidentally lock yourself out. Or if you don’t keep backups/replicas then you could easily lose your passwords.

      Or self host Bitwarden and you don’t have to bother with syncing the file around.

        Vaultwarden (server) + bitwarden (application, extensions), and save money while getting most enterprise features.
