I remember when 1Password still supported local encrypted vaults that I could sync with my cloud provider of choice.
I’m specifically looking at Bitwarden and am wondering why it doesn’t support local vaults. Are there any good reasons that I’m unaware of?
(I am aware of the self hosting option, but I really don’t want to complicate things for myself.)
Maybe because it’s convenient for most users and a unique selling point against KeePass
KeePass can sync no problem. Either right in the app like KeePass2android via WebDAV or just plain old file in a synced folder.
WebDAV is a very old and very technical protocol to setup. The average user just wants to get the app and have it work everywhere.
I did run keypass for many years but the janky sync (it is better now) was one of the driving forces for me to change.
These days group password sharing among my family is a key feature (Netflix,Disney+) which is another feature found in some of the newer passwords managers.
