This is not something we recommend for most users, but if you have the technical chops for it, it can be done.

If you’re the kind of person who wants to keep their data as close to them as possible, Bitwarden offers a way for you to host your own vault on your own server. Bitwarden is also a cloud-based password manager with some additional features for families and teams.

KeePass is a local password manager, meaning it runs on your own computer and you’ll need to import the database onto each device you want to use it on. LastPass is a cloud-based password manager, which means you can access your passwords from any device.

This means that when you enter your master password into Bitwarden’s website or mobile app to log in for the first time-or after logging out of your account for any reason-it will generate a strong cryptographic key based on your master password and apply it to all of your stored data with 256-bit AES encryption so only someone who knows both pieces can access them later on (in case they get lost). But then again maybe you only need to access your passwords from two specific devices for ever and ever, in that case keepass with some sort of sync solution could work well enough.Bitwarden uses PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2) as its primary password hashing algorithm. So I've installed the bitwarden extension to her firefox and can log in if needed. I've had the same situation a couple times when I've visited my mother who lives quite far away. Lets say your are on the other side of the country for whatever reason and need access to a specific license key or password, with bitwarden you can easily access it (even if you don't have access to your phone). Obviously if there was healthy reason to not trust bitwarden (like people have with google) then I'd switch to keepass, but so far I am quite happy with bitwardens trackrecords, the performance and ability to access info when I need it. Tried out keepass and while (as others have said) a personal sync solution can be set up, I ended up staying with bitwarden. Was a longtime user of bitwarden, but was looking for more info about alternatives.
