I remember when 1Password still supported local encrypted vaults that I could sync with my cloud provider of choice.

I’m specifically looking at Bitwarden and am wondering why it doesn’t support local vaults. Are there any good reasons that I’m unaware of?

(I am aware of the self hosting option, but I really don’t want to complicate things for myself.)

    Some years back there was a password manager which stopped sync through cloud (probably Dropbox) & insisted it went through their own servers instead. The whiff of subscription service was in the air so I switched Keepass.

    I sync Keepass between devices myself but I recommend Bitwarden to family who probably couldn’t figure out how to set sync up with Keepass if I’m not around. I stick with Keepass as I like the key file aspect & because it allows multiple documents to be added to entries (restricted on Bitwarden). The documents are available offline, such as vehicle breakdown documents etc. Could be very useful one day!
