> I’ve looked at KeePassXC and Bitwarden. The former isn’t easy to use for sharing and sharing permissions.
For a while, I used KeePassXC work my encrypted database file checked into my Dropbox storage. That allowed me to sync my passwords between devices but not give the cloud provider any way of knowing the passwords (since my KeePassXC master password was not stored anywhere besides in my brain). Unfortunately, Dropbox eventually changed their Android app so that synced files no longer were stored on the local filesystem, so adding a new password from Android or getting the new passwords from other devices would require manually uploading/downloading the file through the Dropbox app. I somewhat suspect this change was due to Dropbox eventually adding their own password management functionality to the app, but I didn't consider that until later, so I'm not sure how the timings lined up. In age case, after weighing my options I ended up deciding to just switch over to Bitwarden. (The migration was extremely easy; I was able to export the KeePassXC database file locally to XML file and then import that into my newly-creates Bitwarden account without any issues).
