It is really easy to self-host, and do so securely...

I’m not buying hosting from a password manager, I’m buying security. I don’t have complete confidence that I can secure a self-hosted password manager and it’s not an area where I want to take risks.

  • It's very simple, just don't make it accessible outside your home network. Clients sync when the server is accessible and use last synced data otherwise.

    • The effort required to set this up far outweighs the price to pay someone to do it for me.

      I pay a cleaner, I have a dishwasher, I pay someone to do my taxes, I pay for companies to host software.

      Then again, I never order food and almost never get takeaway, as cooking is nice and I value my food enough to care what goes in it. Cheaper too, easily offsetting what I pay for my password manager.
