I think you could setup Bitwarden to sync to your cloud of choice but its more complicated and hectic.
Yeah I am just posting it out there and sharing, maybe it gets better with time.
Got a tip for us?

Weird password manager that seems to use a combination of username and master password to create a password for your accounts. As long as you use the same user name and the master password it will regenerate the password anywhere any time, no need for DB or sync.
At least that is what I understood how it works.

i did not know that. that was the last piece missing from icloud keychain for me.iCloud Keychain is adding the ability to add notes to your password entries.
Everything New in iOS 15.4 and iPadOS 15.4: Face ID With a Mask, Emojis, Apple Card Widget, Universal Control and More
Apple is working on new iOS 15.4 and iPadOS 15.4 updates for the iPhone and the iPad, adding a slew of new features to the latest iOS operating...www.macrumors.com
For Mac users it is problematic from only a few standpoints that might not matter to some people.
1) Import of passwords only works from Keychain, not another password manager. That is an option though if you have access to a windows computer. UPDATE:The Mac app has been updated to include importing from 1pasword and Lastpass also. So this is no longer an issue if you are coming from one of those services.
2) Cannot pick cloud of your choice. You either sync locally or you do it with them. There is no third party choice.
3) You can organize things on the desktop clients, but not on mobile. Any folder structure you have created on desktop is wiped out as soon as you sync to mobile. Which is really bad. They really need to extend folders to the mobile side.
They don’t have feature parity among different platforms which is confusing to end users and is their biggest problem. But so far Sticky has worked really good for me once I worked around their limitations. I just wish I had known about them beforehand so not to waste time going down rabbit holes.
LOL, I don’t think it’s like a fine wine. I think that's the business model that Padloc has chosen. Expensive. Recurring. Cloud sync only. I’ll stick with Sticky, though I will continue to keep my eye out for other solutions as well.

-number 3 is really bad and deal breaker especially for their astounding price of $200 lifetime. Thats like 5 years of 1pw subscription and 1 pw works superb. At that price the software should work much better.
-Well I meant maybe in the future padloc grows and adds features and options.
Yeah well, I only paid $30 lifetime. ?
But still, it would be nice to at least have a warning that syncing to mobile will move everything out of folders. Instead of making the mobile look and work like the desktop, in this situation, they make the desktop work like the mobile version. So, I just live without organizing things now. But it would be nice to have mobile and desktop work the same. Definitely will keep pushing them on that.
Now look at this.
And this:
Security audits of 1Password | 1Password Support
1Password products have been reviewed by multiple independent security firms.
So we are supposed to trust our data to that company? Don't get me wrong, software will always have security issues and flaws. There will always be mistakes and holes and they will stuff them and with the next version or patch the game starts again. BUT this is the company that told me that my data is super secure on their servers and that normal users are too dumb to keep their passwords in a local vault. The company that is calling local vaults as not secure enough.
Now the audit found critical security issues on Windows, like malware being able to exploit 1Password as soon as it is started. Nice. And what's the official response?
It is you, the users, who browsed shady websites and got malware on your machine. It seems it isn't their responsibility to keep their app secure. It's the users to not get any malware.
Supports answer on reddit:
And lets be clear, like the OP in the sub pointed out: This information is available to anyone. For three months now they know about the flaw and according to the support account on reddit it isn't fixed yet.
And they want my data?
Which of the alternatives listed are 100% Mac-native applications (meaning built on Mac-native frameworks)? The fact that 1Password used to be a 100% Mac-native application, built on Mac frameworks was what made it attractive to me. Electron is a deal-killer. It's too bloated and slow. Enpass is built with Qt, which, is not 100% Mac-native.
I know Secrets is a Mac-native application. But it's password auto-fill is clunky compared to 1Password's and Keychain's. Keychain is not a viable replacement for me because I need something that can store application serial numbers and other non-password data.

Is there a negative to Strongbix with iCloud backup? I’m an oolllllld 1Password user and still timing V6 on my iMac but it’s time to transfer to something else. I won’t put my passwords on a password managers’ servers.
I‘ve researched every alternative and it looks the cleanest. Empass looks nice but I question it’s longevity.

@sppunk for what its worth, after lots of research and trials (described in my previous posts in this thread together with thoughts and reasoning) I ended up with Strongbox and sync via icloud... have been using this for many months now and it has never missed a beat. My wife uses it too (also an ex 1Password user of over a decade) with zero problems. I have contacted Strongbox support a few times, mostly to try out their support, and they have been fine.
again, for what its worth, I agree - dont put you data on some developers server...they are a honeypot target.

There is no password manager that is as beautiful and nice to use as 1Password v7 on Mac. Besides that, I found both Keychain and Strongbox the best choices for my needs. Keychain, if everything you really need is passwords synced across your Apple devices.
Strongbox for anything else. If you want more features, cross platform etc. Strongbox is really powerful, especially the iOS version, it's easy to get into, if you take some time, and it's practical. That said, it isn't visually appeasing like 1Password. But ask yourself: How often do you want to look in awe at your password manager? How often do you really use the app after the initial setup? I came to the conclusion that a password manager doesn't need to look nice. It has to keep my data save. That's all. I wouldn't care if it is a terminal app. It just has to work. And be secure.
Strongbox implemented a next gen UI which is currently in beta and can be activated via settings. much nicer than the old one but still not as nice as 1Password.
I think you might be confusing strongbox with something else.
Strongbox isnt cross platform. MacOS and iOS only.

Strongbox is the world's leading password manager for iPhone and Mac. Built to utilise industry standard formats, it's ready to secure your data.

Strongbox isn’t cross platform but it uses an open source format - so it can be used in conjunction with a some other password manager on Windows or Linux.

Yes you’re right it isn’t cross platform but its vault is, and Keepass on windows is very similar to strongbox. IMHO it’s the better way of cross platform, a way that was more common in the past: having one vault but several clients on different platforms. So you can be sure that the specific apps are way more optimized than typical cross platform wrapper apps.I think you might be confusing strongbox with something else.

Safeincloud is ok for cross platform and would be my second choice.iOS and macOS KeePass Password Manager | Strongbox
Strongbox is the world's leading password manager for iPhone and Mac. Built to utilise industry standard formats, it's ready to secure your data.
Minimalist? May not meet all users needs, especially as not cross-platform. But no regrets for me since leaving 1Password.
Keychain is far too limited - can’t store secure notes, router info, credit card info, server info, etc.
Im leaning toward Keypass with Strongbox and some Windows app for my work machine.
I do not disagree with this, but forcing people to switch to a cloud sync is also not what everyone wants. So if you want to have a normal license then you'll not get cloud sync (like it was with 1P until a couple of versions ago), and if you want cloud sync then pay up.
I would also have liked them to provide support for home run clould like Nextcloud, Owncloud, etc.
I'm still running 1P6 as I don't like the UI from 1P7 and version 8 is out of the question.
Keychain has had the ability to store "secure notes" since like ...forever?
Though sadly they seem to be unavailable on iOS devices (yet?).
Apple also do offer access to iCloud keychain extension for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on Windows, including a recently-published Chrome extension.
I'm not saying it's a very good alternative to other password managers from a cross-platform compatibility and user interface point - but Apple are at least offering something.
Now look at this.

While we can claim that 1PW is a trash piece of software all software in fact will have security vulnerability so other managers are not in a better position but the fact that it stores this info in THEIR cloud means that any attack on THEIR cloud means an attack on MY data. Password manager is a high risk, leaking its info literally can cause you real life harm by web criminals, its not like losing a facebook account.
I am surprised they published it. Do they pay these firms to do the security audit?
If you live in Apple ecosystem only Stronbox is a good option, if not best.

I just realised Bitwarden only way of making money is to host your data, since its open source, they will never make a local vault as an option.
That’s how I feel about Sticky Password. It looks really good. In fact it’s much cleaner than 1password which I found a bit cluttered. Especially when it was asking to create new entries for things already in its database which was really annoying.
