Comment on Password manager woes. How have you solved syncing on Android?

I use Vaultwarden. Each synced device is a backup, so there’s no real need to keep anything further than that, but I do keep one backup of the server files anyway.

Yeah, that’s a good point. There are still a few cons though:

If the server goes down (or your internet connection goes down), you can’t add entries to your database. Local changes aren’t allowed.

Bitwarden doesn’t support supplementing your passphrase with a key file.

The Bitwarden clients aren’t enitrely FOSS as far as I understand, the SDK used has a non-free license.

There are pros and cons in both alternatives, and there is unfortunately not a perfect solution. I like the idea and philosophy behind the KeePass format, so the increase in syncing complexity is worth it (for now at least).

  Vaultwarden is FOSS (GPL).
  
  It’s true re adding passwords while the server is offline, but my server runs 24x7 and it’s never down for more than a few minutes. If it goes down, I fix it. I also backup the encrypted DB regularly to cloud, so there is little risk of data loss. I am a very satisfied Vaultwarden user. Especially because it allows password sharing with my family. Everyone has an account.
