Goddammit. It's getting to the point I'm going to have to figure out how to write my own app for this.
It shouldn't even be that complex...
I might be mistaken, but ultimately a password manager is basically nothing more than a database of passwords in an encrypted zip file, right? That could entirely be self-hosted with off the shelf open source applications stringed together.
All you'd need is a nice UI stringing it all together.
Edit: I'm not sure why people are downvoting me. Is that not what a password manager essentially is?
I see it as it's easy to self host. But I'm not skilled nor rich enough to guarantee the availability of it. I don't want to be stuck on a holiday without my passwords because my server back home died from black out or what have you.
I pay for bitwarden and the proton mail package to keep the password management market a bit more competitive and it actually works out cheaper. It would be nice to have protons anonymous emails built in, but I can live with it.
But I might have to reconsider if Bitwarden is going a different direction that what I'm paying for.
