Hi y’all! Sorry for asking so much on this sub! Y’all have been so helpful!

This time, I’m thinking of transitioning from 1Password to a self-hosted option.

Of course I know about Bitwarden, and I’m looking into it now, but are there any other recommendations y’all have? Have y’all heard of and used Passbolt? It seems nice, but it looks like it only does passwords and not other categories like 1Password does.

A few things of note: I’d like it to have different categories, a la 1Password. (Logins, SSN, ID, member card #, etc) Maybe multi-user so I can have an account for my wife. Password generator of course, and I’m not sure if y’all are familiar too much with 1password, but it allows you to customize the fields in each entry. So it starts with the basics (username, password, url), but it allows you to add sections and entries too! I could add a “security” and add my 2FA code on there, my backup codes, etc.

Honestly, that last one is a biggie, so I think I might be talking myself out of moving over now, but I’m sure that AgileBits or whatever the company is called will abandon, if it hasn’t already, 1Password 7 with local vaults, in favor of 1Password 8 that only uses 1password subscription accounts.

Sorry for the rant and wall of text. Thank y’all in advance.

Update on July 21, 2023

I decided to self-host Vaultwarden as it was designed to be a lightweight (on resources) version of Bitwarden. For Android, I’m using the “Keyguard” app to access my instance, and the official Bitwarden browser extension on my wife’s MacBook. 1password fucked me over, and I had to manually copy every password 1 by 1, luckily I only had ~500 entries.

I’m still doing some research into the best app for android (the official Bitwarden is ugly, and Keyguard is pretty, but I’m still looking around.)

Thank each and every one of you for taking time to answer my question!

    https://keepassxc.org as Password manager and 2FA and https://syncthing.net to sync the database between your devices without a central server.

    • You can have several databases (one for wife, one for you)
    • You can store your 2FA there
    • You can make nested groups of your passwords
    • You can store certificates and other attachments as files or custom fields like backup codes, etc.

    Don’t use Keepass or KeepassX but the KeepassXC version is the community version most polished and with most functionality.

    There are many 3rd party clients which can read/write the keepassx database file like:

    Instead of Syncthing you can also use some other file sync if you have it set up already like iCloud, Nextcloud, Dropbox, but Syncthing I find is the easiest set up and forget.
