I currently use keePass, and use it on both my PC and my phone. I like it because I can keep a copy of my DB on my phone and export it through a few different means. But I can’t seem to find an option to actually sync my local DB against a remote one. I’ve thought about switching to BitWarden but from what I can see it uses a single DB with multiple connections. Is there a password manager that allows
ultiple databases (one PC one Phone) with easy syncing between them - specifically from my phone? Or a way to setup keePass to allow syncing with a machine on my home network?
How does that work when your vaultwarden instance goes down for some reason? Lose access to passwords? Or does the browser extension still have access to a cached copy of the db?

You could just use syncthing to sync between devices. Works like a charm.
This is the way to go, IMHO.
Syncthing was weird at first, but it’s super simple, it shouldn’t take too long to get used to it.
I’ll look into this, thanks!
Why not self host vaultwarden? I was using keepas for all of the reasons OP mentioned, but my woes went away when I migrated over.
Clean export from keepas and import into vauktwarden. Plus with passkeys being deployed, is there a reason against it?

Exactly… If you lose internet connection is just stays local until you reconnect.
Phone, browser, desktop…
Bitwarden does use a local database and syncs. When you authenticate it unlocks the local database and does regular syncing behind the scenes.
I do recommend self-hosting vaultwarden for the primary server though.
I sync Enpass between iPhone and Linux with Mobius Sync (Syncthing for iPhone)
