Bitwarden: Free, open-source password manager

I was on Bitwarden for a bit. I really really like the secure notes feature, it's great for storing secrets like keys that aren't used in a browser or android app.

But Google is so much more convenient.

I still wonder why there's no completely P2P password manager using SyncThing plus a layer of encryption. We have this near perfect tool for making multidevice apps but we don't use it for much!

I mean, you could use pass, which stores all your passwords in a gpg encrypted file. It works very well out of the box with syncthing, or anything else that can move around files, like git-annex.

KeePassX works fairly well with syncthing as well, if I remember.

The Android app for pass seems to be 2yrs old, not the worst, not the best.

I've heard KeePassX can have sync conflicts if you edit on multiple devices with the wrong timing.

I think for a real conflict-free experience you'd need to put each password in its own file, or give each device a logfile to publish CRDT updates with cr-sqlite(Looking into adding that to a baserow style app).
