Bitwarden is good but I don’t understand why I need to make an account to use it? I wish more software followed 1Password <= v6 and allowed me to store my vault and access it locally anywhere.

It “just worked” on any device that could sync the vault. Now they’re a pay-to-play service without that feature.
