Spent a few hours researching alternatives to #1Password, due to their cost increase. For me, it boils down to three scenarios.

a) Migrate to Bitwarden Cloud, save ~25 USD/year, but deal with migration hell

b) Migrate to Bitwarden self-hosted through Vaultwarden, accept community risk, and lie awake at night about server hardening

c) Stay with 1Password and live a worry-free life for the cost of a cup of coffee per month per user

I'll be going with C. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

@zayn I'm not against self-hosting, but I do recognize that the heart of my complete digital life needs special consideration.

KeePass comes with its own can of worms: synchronization of shared data with the wife and kids.

@jorijn one reddit thread suggested syncthing (.net). or nextcloud (or for manual ezpz sync) patchy.moe for just exporting it and sending (and merging) it to keepassdx (android)
