I begin to use KeePass and without any browser plugin.

I would NEVER allow to store my password on an online service

It allows me to use diferent random hard passwords for many sites and services. And store it with a hard cypher.

To sync it with my phone, periodically I copy the password store database to my phone.

I agree, I still use bitwarden but want to move to Keepass. I found it is good as I started using for work.

I was unable to login to bitwarden few months back, raised a ticket and it was resolved in few hours. But when I asked for the reason, they said someone trying to access my account with multiple passwords and my account was locked.

What if the support team was not there, all my passwords would be locked and unavailable for me.

Keep a local copy of your bitwarden password for offline use. The native Bitwarden clients can be used offline.

I used KeePass for years. I agree with the never store my passwords online thing but I have too many devices to sync passwords with so I ended up putting my KeePass db in Google Drive. It was a little error prone so started using Bitwarden.

Obviously others have this problem as well. Do you just copy you db around using USB and manually resolve conflicts?

I copy the DB file using KDE Connect. I only need to sync between my PC and my phone
