I personally would recommend it over Bitwarden since with Bitwarden you NEED internet to access your passwords, and even if is open source, i canmot trust it, security breaches can happen in any time, having your vault locally stored helps a lot.
There are more but i can’t Remember them right now.
I just tried because you made me doubt, but you can access your passwords offline with bitwarden. Your argument about trusting a third party is far more pertinent, i’m choosing to trust them but thats really my choice. It is also a limited trust: even in a case of a data breach, bitwarden is encrypted end-to-end with your password, even if someone gets access to your data they wont be able to read it without your master key.
I ran into issues when using Bitwarden for the first time, i don’t understand why, i just like having my password vault close to me, KeepassXC and KeepassDX just makes things a little more painless
You don’t need internet to access the passwords stored in Bitwarden if you have their local clients installed. It stores an encrypted copy of your database locally to your device which syncs (updates) over the internet.
But how do you access the files from another app? Where are they stored? I have nothing in the com.nextcloud.client folder for example. Proton Drive mounts in the left-hand menu of Files. Would be nice if that was achievable with Nextcloud also.
EDIT: Turns out it does if there is no app passcode enabled. Not sure I am comfortable having that turned off though.
To be honest I use signal “message to self”. I know there are better ways to do it but it’s a very convenient way to transfer small files from my laptop to my phone securely.
You can self-host Bitwarden, and sync your vault to your phone. Maybe not an option for everyone since it requires some technical skills, but very doable.
Self-hosting KeePassXC requires installing one package and backing up one file. I expect that requires less technical skill and is doable for more people than to self-host Bitwarden.
KepassXC for PC and KeepassDX for Android phones.

It gave me trouble when i tried to log in ob my account, and i prefer having the database WHERE I CAN SEE IT
These would also be my top two apps. Absolutely essential pieces of kit IMO.
The android integration is just so good these days. Syncing is the only minor issue but it is minor.
Hoe do you sync it? I’ve been meaning to make the switch to these for a long time now, but still not gotten around to it.
I use syncthing (mentioned below)
I used to use Dropbox, but switched to Nextcloud years ago.
Do you use KeePassDX on Android? If so, how do you access the vault from Nextcloud?
I’ve been using KeePassDroid. Nextcloud has an option to set files to favorites which keeps them local on Android.
But how do you access the files from another app? Where are they stored? I have nothing in the com.nextcloud.client folder for example. Proton Drive mounts in the left-hand menu of Files. Would be nice if that was achievable with Nextcloud also.

Oh you just reminded me, KepassXC and DX Doesn’t demand you to create an account and log in to access your vault 😄

pwsafe too.
I will still prefer KeepassDX and KeepassXC
Don’t you still need internet to access your passwords if you want to use Keepass across devices?
Nope, sonce your Keepass database is store locally, all you need is Syncthing, you won’t beleive how easy it is to use.
Can only second this
I love KeepassXC, but I use Keepass2android on my phone. Do you know how it compares to KeepassDX?
KeepassXC honestly is more userfriendly IMO.
