I specifically moved away from KeePassXC to Bitwarden with self hosted vaultwarden because the Linux desktop experience and mobile syncing was so terrible. While I love KeePassXC, using it on an immutable Linux distro where everything needs to be Flatpak means the browser extension doesn't work because it doesn't support Flatpak'd browsers back when I switched. Auto type is a security nightmare and is not an option. Syncing does not exist and with the constant death and forking of Syncthing on Android, it became unusable to randomly find out my db hasn't synced for a week and now I have to reset everything with a new fork yet again.
replyBitwarden was the no nonsense choice because it just worked.
I used to use gnupass and its variants (including passforios on mobile), but what brought me to bitwarden was being able to make changes on two clients and merge the results cleanly / usefully without needing to do anything manually at all.
replyHow does this work with keepassxc? Does it depend on your file syncing primitive?
When I stopped using KeePassXC, there was no merging. You configured each client to save immediately and reload when detecting the file changed. If you used a tool like Syncthing then you had to monitor for conflicts (which stopped syncing) and manually fix them. If the major clients on Linux, Android, and browser extensions all supported proper syncing on their own, I might switch back.
replyAny good reason to use keepassxc rather than regular KeePass?
replyAt the time I decided to go with regular keepass, it was because setting up OneDrive sync (directly to OneDrive, not depending on a mapped folder because I use as little MS software as possible) and browser extension was easier. And the cross platform UI on KeePassXC just didn’t look and feel good on windows.
