I did not wish to change password managers. What's a decent password manager that's free software, and has a usable Firefox extension that works on both desktop & mobile?

Preferably one that is self-hostable, or where the database is easy to sync between Desktop and stock, non-rooted Android.
Bonus points if it is able to store additional custom fields, credit card data, and can generate TOTP codes too.
Is it KeepassXC, or is there something else? Last time I used KeepassXC (arguably, a good couple of years ago), the browser autofill was kinda flaky.

@algernon I don't have a recommendation here. I use Keepass2 and GNOME Secrets, but I don't care about browser auto filling.
However, I'm curious: are you reacting to the news that Bitwarden may be going closed source, at least partially?
-
@algernon For now, I'm using vaultwarden as the server, and the Bitwarden clients / Firefox add-ons (inc. on mobile).
Is that what you're trying to move away from?

@liw Yep, I am. I'm currently self-hosting Vaultwarden, because their browser extension worked much better than KeepassXC's. I'd like to move away before more shit hits the fan.
-
@neil Sadly, yeah. That setup is exactly what I'm trying to move away from.

@algernon I use keepassXC, but https://psono.com may be a good option for you

@triskelion Psono sounds interesting, but there's a for-profit behind it, so I'm vary of trusting it. It might be a decent interim solution though. Thanks!
-
@algernon I really like KeePassXC. Recent versions even create webauthn credentials (passkeys).
From the "as a service"-options I recommend Proton Pass.
-
@hexmasteen Hrm. Looks like the server side of Proton Pass is not open source, only the clients, so that's a no-go, unfortunately. Sad, because the apps did look decent!

@algernon Bitwarden. I pay for syncing because I want to support the devs, but afaik itβs self hostable.

(I am currently using Vaultwarden + Bitwarden clients, and wish to move away from that, because of the above.)
-
@algernon Correct, but if you don't plan to selfhost it shouldn't matter much. The server doesn't get access to important stuff as it's all e2ee (like the other proton services).
Like always crypto in the web-client is problematic of course.
It's always about trust and the threat model. Establishing a non-profit foundation earned them some trust from me. (not affiliated btw)

@hexmasteen I do plan to self-host, as I'm self-hosting (Vaultwarden) now, and have no desire to change that, nor sign up for Yet Another Account. I already have too many.

@tardis I am using Vaultwarden currently, but it - currently - requires a Bitwarden client, which they're enshittifying. So I will have to move away from Vaultwarden, unless a suitable client emerges.

@hexmasteen (With that said, it might be a good option for my parents who don't self host as much as I do, so I'll forwarded the recommendation to them, thanks!)
