for one user, one machine. nothing fancy. just something that I can store passwords in. I've heard freakout problems about a lot of different ones.

EDIT : I'm on debian. 13.

    I've used pass for a few years now: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pass

    cli runs in terminal, you can run 'pass - c' to copy a password to your clipboard, and it has extensions for most things.

    (Optional: You can also extend it to multiple machines/phones later by using an encrypted git repository)

    Keepass is fine I guess. If you don't ñeed or want access anywhere else, can't imagine why you'd need Bitwarden or ProtonPass.

    Since Bitwarden is preparing to sell out I moved to AliasVault, they also have a nice email alias service that is a godsend.

    I use Vaultwarden, but I need my stuff synced between my computer and phone, so it might be a bit much for your use case.

    I do know about :x to save and exit, is :X really to encrypt?

    How does this work?

    And how to you sync through devices and use it on e.g. a smartphone?

    Or was this a joke that flew over my head?

    Edit: for everybody else who didn't ever use that feature (and I've used vim as an IDE for some years), here you go

    Password Safe and Manager is what i use on my phone for years now. i trust it because it only stores data on your device. not sure if it runs on linux

    Your brain with a reasonably complex password-building recipe. It's secure and you'll never lose your passwords until you reach dementia age.
