If bitwarden is too complicated, keepass is out of the picture

How could you be simpler than keepass? Like, there's more advanced features, but for basic function, its just a password to access a list of passwords.

...its just a password to access a list of passwords.

Unless you never thought of, implemented, regularly did and regularly tested your backup of the database. Or... try to use it on more than one device - maybe even at the same time.

That's the main problem with KeePass. It's nice to have it offline, fully under your control and out of the cloud, but that comes with some responsibilities on your end. And now think of how the average user solves this. If you're tech savvy enough, KeePass is great!

You technically only need it on one device if you don't want to be able to copy/paste or use the autotype feature. Which works fine until you lose or break that one device or upgrade to a new one and forgot you needed to transfer your passwords or delete your database because you didn't remember what it was and wanted to free up space.

And Bitwarden has scary things like "self-hosting".
