Bitwarden is not offline by default - it stores you passwords in the cloud and keeps a local copy. So you can access it offline but you need online access to edit it. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/9yv32e/can_bitwa...


Sure, it depends on your definition if "offline". My guess is that most people asking for an "offline" password manager are not actually offline much of the time, but specific use cases may vary!

Keepass is nice, it's what I used before Bitwarden. It's not great at syncing across devices or sharing passwords with others, though.


+1 for Bitwarden



I use this too. Keepass on windows, keepassxc on Linux and keepass2android on Android, with the db synced to all my devices via Nextcloud.

The db is encrypted via a passphrase plus a keyfile that I copy manually to each device (that is, it's not synced with the db).


I have a great fear of things like the Android/IOS app from the store being compromised, resulting in my passwords going to someone. Do you do anything specific to overcome such fear?


I used to do this and leveraged dropbox for syncing. At some point, dropbox limited my number of devices so I self-host bitwarden. So much better now, and my wife actually uses it.


I tried this and it fits what I need. Thank you.
