    I use Bitwarden for passwords. Just works so well.

    KeepassXC and KeePassium for TOTP codes. I keep the database in the cloud but sync a key with Syncthing that’s needed to unlock the database on the devices themselves.

      Locally hosted bitwarden (vault warden) that is only accessible on your local network is the way to go. When a new sync is needed away from home, wireguard VPN to connect back in makes everything nice and secure. Otherwise most of the time the vault is cached to the device locally so you don’t need to phone home to access passwords.

        @bluetoque @ebits21 Because then every account is only as secure as your Bitwarden account. It become a single point of failure/vulnerability.

          Yep, I think keeping TOTP codes in the same place as passwords defeats their purpose (no longer a second factor).

          Less convenient but more secure.
