I currently use KeepassXC that is synced through NextCloud. The sync isn't very elegant, especially on my phone. So I'm looking for a new password manager, which has a native server sync support that I can self host. What do y'all recommend? I need at least a phone app and a browser integration that can autofill.

I haven't seen it mentioned here so I'll throw it out there - 1Password. It's just a very smooth experience that I really appreciate.

I also use Unix pass and self host a git repo over Tailscale to keep it synced across devices. Works like a charm so long as I remember to push whenever I edit a password somewhere.

Bitwarden is excellent and the paid plan is very reasonable unlike with others.

Proton pass if general UX and speed are important to you. Bitwarden if amount of features is important to you

[-] chrand@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 hours ago

For native sync, the two good and reputable alternatives are Bitwarden and Proton Pass

2nding the Bitwarden, absolutely love it. I moved from LastPass years ago and never looked back.

Bitwarden.

My recommendation: Don't use Vaultwarden (self hostable server side of bitwarden. Really easy to run and use). Why? You're not a security personal, and securing your vault isn't your job. You might do a slight mistake that'll lead to the compromise of your vault.

The people at Bitwarden have their work dedicated to securing the vaults and all they do is security. And they'll probably do it better then you. When it comes to serious matter, I prefer to trust the professionals.

Doesn't the server just hold an encrypted vault? What could go wrong when the server is compromised? Just thinking out loud I don't know the answer

[-] sonalder@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 hours ago

Security is also about backups. 3 Replicas 2 Formats 1 Offsite location

[-] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 2 points 6 hours ago

Yep, that's right. In theory you could share the encrypted DB with the public and not degrade security. (Still don't do that though...)

Have you tried syncthing? It works great with keepassxc.

Vaultwarden is pretty easy to self host.

[-] zarlin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 7 hours ago

+1 for Keepass + Syncthing. Free, no cloud, always synced.

Which one? Or both?

[-] fireshell@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 hours ago

Good thing the KeepassXC can be used as a 2nd factor authenticator, though it has TOTP only, doesn't offer HOTP.

[-] JASN_DE@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

Vaultwarden works really well for me.

Keepass2android should be able to handle nextcloud sync from within the app so that might work better than on device sync. If your done with keepass bitwarden or proton pass are common alternatives

[-] sonalder@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 hours ago

If you're on Android I had seen a better UX for synching with the client Keepass2droid than with KeepassXC or KeepassDX.

On iOS maybe try Keepassium.

[-] dengtav@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 hours ago

I do the exact same thing as OP with KeepassDX at work and works pretty nice so far, since I gave KeepassDX the right acces rights on the nextxloud directory.

What diferences have you figured out so far with Keepass2android in comparison ?

[-] sonalder@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 hours ago

Easier to setup sync for noobs, however this was years ago maybe it has changed since on DX
