I agree with this, but the biggest benefit to me is that it's (a) open source and auditable, (b) self-hostable to owning my data, and (c) has a cheap hosted plan so I can choose to not handle my own major security. For meeting all of my highest personal priorities I'm willing to put up with some clunkiness. But, man, I would love the friendliness I hear about from the likes of 1password!

    I've been using KeepassXC with SyncThing for years on phones and multiple PCs. Once Syncthing was configured in a star rather than mesh topology problems have been few and far between, even when the database is open on multiple devices at the same time. When problems they do occur they are easily resolved.

    I had originally planned this as a temporary set up, but it's worked so well I've found no reason to change it.

    I actually forgot I have tried keepass, and it's fine, but unfortunately the no recovery options if you somehow lose access is a deal breaker for me.

    I understand for security theres no better option, but I travel and deal with a bunch of different systems in a way that make storing all my passwords locally a very dangerous proposition. I'm just not willing to do any sort of workarounds that may exist to mitigate those dangers, it's too much of a headache for me personally

    At least I remember that being the gist of my issues with it, it's been a while
