Bitwarden lite self-host deployment, formerly unified, is now generally available! This self-host option is a more lightweight and flexible deployment alternative, ideal for homelab enthusiasts and community members who want to get started quickly with self-hosting Bitwarden. With the release of general availability, Bitwarden lite users can benefit from enhanced performance and reliability.

Seems to be an official alternative to Vaultwarden

I like Bit warden for someone like my mom, but I have my keepass setup with sync thing and 2fa and I'm beyond happy with that. Simple and effective.

Same here. I have KeePass database set to read only by default on my phone. I can override this but it minimizes the risk of conflict and I add new passwords on my desktop most of the time.

KeePass also supports merging new entries from a database. Helpful for paranoiacs like me, who don't let any other program touch the database, but are too lazy to not add an entry on the phone occasionally.

I came to bitwarden because we needed to share passwords with my SO and the way those replicate seamlessly on all our devices (desktop, laptop, iOS, Android) is a no brainer. Since bitwarden/vaultwarden is full self-hostable and open-source, I don't see why I would pass on its convenience.
