For those suggesting to "just" use KeePassXC and KeePassDX, the sticking point for me is that the UI experience with Bitwarden in my desktop browser and on Android is just so darn good.

How do the KeePass' compare?

P.S. I do use a KeePassXC vault for a small amount of stuff. Discovered KeePassDX for Android this week from a recent HN comment. It is very good. After playing with it for ten minutes I deleted the other two Keepass apps I had on my phone.

I switched from KeePassXC to Bitwarden (self hosted with Vaultwarden) a couple years ago. The experience is considerably better, the BW iOS app is great, and the Firefox extension also works reasonable well. I could never get integration in either case to work as well with KeePassXC. I'm confident if BW pull any real nonsense, there will be a fork of the client, and there's no reason for Vaultwarden to go away...

What were the issues with keepassxc integration? I have been using it and it generally works flawlessly integrating with firefox, the only thing is that you have to sometimes press the reconnect to keepass in the extension if you shut down keepass while Firefox was running.

Keepassxc also provides an ssh agent and works as my secret provider, that also works without problems if it wasn't for gnome keyrings which decides that it will stick around after you log into gnome (which I rarely do). Does BW provide secret integration?

I found it kind of a pain to keep the Firefox extension connected. Additionally, I never found a solution for sync I was happy with - I had settled on OneDrive and there is an open source OneDrive sync client for Linux, but I had a couple instances where I ended up with conflicts and having to copy new or modified entries over manually. I’m not sure that any sync client is great across all of Windows, macOS, Linux and iOS - but I use them all frequently.

I can’t really comment on secrets, I use a YubiKey for SSH and GPG for signing Git commits so I’ve never needed to look into it.
