Did you consider KeePass or one of the variants?

I'm using KeePass. On Linux, windows and android and Google drive to sync the database. it is a hassle. The graphics look terrible. And most of the times the keeweb plugin doesn't really work on Firefox and I have to copy paste the password. But I have been using it for a long time now and got used to it. The best thing about it is the plugin system. I would not suggest it, I think bit warden does all of this and is a lot more user friendly.
I use KeePass on one of my projects and I find Bitwarden much better than KeePass. We're moving to Bitwarden soon to keep it seamless across teams.
I do use KeePass for work, since we're not authorized to put passwords on the cloud, but device synchronization and browser auto fill is a pain.

For personal, Bitwarden is much better. Browser plugins just work, android auto fill just works, passwords synchronized across devices, support for auto filling payment information. 2FA support.

Did you try KeePassXC? It's much more actively developed and runs circles around the original KeePass:

­— it's a native application (starts instantly on less powerful machines)

— can check your accounts against haveibeenpwnd.com database

— has full browser integration which works flawlessly IME

— can store SSH keys and work as an SSH agent

edit: it does not support synchronization, I misremembered. Sorry.
