KeePassXC (and I assume the other versions) can import an encrypted JSON Password Protected (NOT Account Restricted) export from Bitwarden.

I use them both. I have KeePassXC for my local machine, and Bitwarden for things I may need out and about.

With the browser plugins for both it's not that hard to manage them both, at least in my opinion.

I was hoping to see some course correction on this from Bitwarden, even if the over-stated impact was really just to the SDK. They appear to understand the look of their licensing move was going to cost them more than it probably should have. Most companies refuse to change course at all, so I at least see it as encouraging.

edit to fix a typo



There is little chance I’ll ever move to keepassxc as that requires me to maintain it myself and take the chance on deleting something very precious. I’ll stick with the cloud solutions for now.


Synchronizing is not too difficult. You can use syncthing or any cloud-based storage solutions you are already using. You can also back stuff up. Given it has a recycle bin I wouldn't think accidentally deleting stuff is any more likely than a cloud solution. It's probably harder to back up a cloud solution as you don't have direct access to the file.


How does Syncthing handle concurrent writes?


A caveat that bears mentioning is that an export of a Bitwarden vault does not contain attachments.
