Reevaluating my password management (sh.itjust.works)

It never made sense to me to put password managers in the cloud. Regards to what you intend it to do, you’re making it accessible to a wider audience than necessary. And yet, I’m using iCloud. It’s time for a change.

I’m thinking of just running a locally hosted password manager on my home server and letting my devices sync with it somehow when I’m at home. I have a VPN into my home network when I’m away that automatically triggers when I leave the house, so even that’s not that big an issue, but I’m really not familiar with what’s gonna cleanly integrate with all my stuff and be easy to use. All I know is I wanna kill the cloud functionality of my setup.

I already have a jellyfish server so I figured I would just throw this onto that. Any suggestions?

I use keepass (KeepassXC on desktop, KeepassDX on Android but I'm sure there is an IOS client too) I sync the database between all my devices and my server (hub and spoke) with Syncthing

I've been using various versions of keepass for ever. Until recently I had the database on Google drive. It's now local and sync'd with syncthing. It's a bit "different", but once you get used to it, it works very well.

I also use KeepassXC and Synthing together and I am very happy with this combination.

One tip that I have, if you are worried about the security of the database file being shared, is to get 2 Yubikeys and use these, along with a strong passphrase, to protect the database file.

theres also the option of using a "key file" with Keepass, which can be any file, an mp3, an ebook or whatever, and then you select that file when youre entering your password. so as well as someone trying to brute force your password they also have to guess what key file youre using, which would be next to impossible if you had a folder full of hundreds of files

Same boat for me, works great! I got the NFC Yubikeys which work fine with Android.
