"textContent": "I’m in a similar spot, I have been using bitwarden for a few years, more recently as a subscriber. I quite like it but it feels scarey at times, notably when I have to navigate around the webapp (on my phone). The webapp isn’t very well suited for this and some very important things are only available via the webapp - something that bitwarden support agree with and are looking into improving.\n\nAlso on more than one occasion I have saved different passwords to the vault and the application which is proper annoying. I know (now) how it happens - I generate a new password, copy it to the application to see if it is accepted (how many applications only tell you their password syntax AFTER you’ve entered one that fails?). So with the password saved in the application I return to bitwarden and save it there only to find bitwarden does a sneaky regeneration just before I save it. I have of course worked out a way to avoid this but it still feels like a precarious process.\n\nSo I too tried KeePass(DX) and I love it, creating/changing passwords is much more “me\" proof and I really like the idea of the file being right there on my device which, used wisely, has no equivalent point of failure to bitwarden not working.\n\nI can sync between phones using mega and keep a couple of strategically placed backups about the place.\n\nThe downside? Transferring all the passwords\n\nAlso I have a small glitch whereby I have to input my fingerprint everytime I click the little eye to see hidden fields. I’m sure this must be an erroneous setting but it’s is annoying enough to be a delabreaker if not.",
