Any strong reasons to switch from KeePassXC?
Probably not.
KeepassXC with Syncthing is the best option I've found.
Just wish KeepassXC supported Bitwarden export. Tried that earlier this week and it was no good. So staying on Bitwarden. I did install Proton Pass and tried it out. It is not as intrusive as Bitwarden on Android for permissions. Staying on Bitwarden for now . . . I hate passwords . . .
Proton Pass does do a BitWarden import so I will probably run with that for awhile.
Bitwarden export is also pretty limited
I've been making the switch from KeePass / Keeweb to Bitwarden and it went pretty well with the export as far as I remember, what went wrong for you?
Export was JSON, keypassXC supports CSV so converted to CSV but the import seemed scrambled. Just didn't work well. I see there is an issue on bitwarden import but isn't ready yet for keepassXC
Use export as XML instead, I just tried it and it works well for me : fields are consistent so far and my folders went through.
oh? Nice! Will give that a try this weekend!
Probably none, if you're fine with KeePass. Personally I don't want to use anything that's hosted on someone else's server. It's a bit more inconvenient to use the local files of KeePass only, but I'd rather feel a bit safer with that, even if by all account BitWarden/Proton Pass would be fine.
I like Bitwarden because it's reliable, secure, feature-rich, and incredibly reasonably priced. But also, if they ever do something that crosses the line, I can spin up a Vaultwarden on a VPS and move my vault in an hour or two.
It's the same reason I host a dumb blog on WordPress owned infrastructure. I support FOSS companies, and like the ejector button freedom.
I would say the sync feature as it may be more convenient on iOS etc
