Ask HN: Password manager with user-defined cloud storage

11 points by BinaryBird ↗ HN
Hi, very disappointed with Lastpass, and no longer trusting any cloud password manager, so what are the options for a paid or open source password manager that:

1) has multi-platform, multi-device support, and

2) has the ability to store encrypted password vaults in user-defined 3rd-party cloud file storage like Backblaze, Cloudflare, Google Cloud Storage, AWS S3 etc. much like how Arq Backup and other backup software allow user-defined 3rd-party cloud storage.

Got any suggestions or experience with using any such password managers?

This one works from local files (no native cloud storage): https://www.pwsafe.org/

If the local directory it uses is mapped (via appropriate means) to one of the above cloud providers (i.e., a "dropbox" style mapping) then the local encrypted file is also stored "in the cloud".

Note also you could simply setup "backup into cloud" of the local file and achieve a similar result.

Here you will find a long list of compatible other variants: https://www.pwsafe.org/relatedprojects.shtml some of which are for multi-platform and/or multi-device support.

KeepassXC with Nextcloud or Syncthing.

Or bitwarden plus the self-hosted server bit.

Is there any evidence that 1Password is just as bad as Lastpass or is there a chance that they do things right? Anyone with insight here?

I'm not only thinking of myself but also my family. KeePass is not user friendly the way 1Pass is and that's very important.
