Comment on Fully self-hosted password manager options

keepass
it’s technically no password manager but a file format.
there are dozens of apps that will work on any platform, including soft keyboard with “password” bitton for smartphone that will just work everywhere and browser extensions, apps that allow you to use your yubikey to unlock and anything else. you can host your vault anywhere including a google drive or your own webdav or ftp server and keep local copies on your devices synchronized…

Its an encrypted keyring idk what they’re talking about

i mean eachch of the individual programs that can load your keepass keyring is a password manager.
the keyring itself isn’t a password manager and the main reason why i use it is because each of the individual programs that i actually use to open it (keepassxc on windows, keepassdroid on my phone, keeweb on my vps…) can use the same file with the same specification that is shared everywhere.
i’m not bound to any particular program with a particular set of features. just use anything that can open that file format from a place where i choose to host it.

Oh, I run the KeePass program on windows. I guess that’s why I’m confused.
But yes, I use keepassXC on Linux and keepassium on iOS

I believe they’re argueing, as it can store more than passwords, it’s not purely a password manager.
