Local Password apps other than Keepass and gopass

Consider what I suggested before: Syncthing, set to save multiple versions (so you have every edit going back one year, or forever if you want). It can be backing up to a home server + a second optional cloud storage backup. Syncthing keeps it identical on all devices. That shouldn’t be “traumatic”. You just download or copy the file. No harder than logging into a second account. I could be missing something, but I’m not seeing the issue unless someone doesn’t want to use keypass and manage their syncing at all. All these password managers are just a front end to the database file, so you’re doing the same thing regardless. If it’s storing the keypass password, you can write it down, put it with your important documents, and then store another copy with a web service or your OS’s password storage if you want. No need to set up something as complicated as vaultwarden when you could use a post it note.
