Same. Where do you keep the db file? Mine's in the cloud and I can't help but think it reduces security, but then I need access to this data from various locations.

I worry about this too. I store the database itself in Dropbox, and I also use a keyfile alongside the password to open it. I can easily recreate the keyfile on any computer, but it never goes anywhere near the internet.

In addition to that, for my really critical "gatekeeper" accounts, I don't put the full password in the database. Just a reminder that this is a "special" password, which needs to be combined with another bit of info in order to work.

I just live with the fact that I can't use this system on my phone, and for my usage patterns, that's fine. There's nothing I need to do that's so urgent that it can't wait until I'm back in front of my computer.

Why can't you use it on your phone? There are various apps for Keepass available.

On my laptop. I synch to my phone and tablet using Syncthing. I write into the file only on the laptop.

I keep my db in my own freenas box and sync it between devices using resilio sync.

I use BitWarden, and they let you self host the service if you want. I haven't done it yet, but I'm definitely considering it. However, passwords are encrypted on your machine then uploaded, so it's a bit more secure than them managing everything on the server.

I also do that (almost, keeweb + dropbox) and copy paste logins, but a serious problem is that you need to clear the clipboard after, otherwise any other site you visit can read it.

Dunno about Keeweb but KeePass automatically wipes the clipboard after a configurable number of seconds.

Same here! Except I use Keychain (without icloud) from OSX, as it's built in.

I can't trust a website to keep all my passwords.

I basically decided to trust Apple’s privacy and security teams so iCloud Keychain is the one service that I use it syncing.
