I rely on Bitwarden (slooowly migrating from... a spreadsheet...) and am thinking of keeping a master backup to be SyncThing-synchronized across all my devices, but I'm not sure of how to secure the SyncThing-synchronized files' local access if any one of my Windows or Android units got stolen and somehow cracked into or something. I'm curious about how others handle theirs. Thanks in advance for sharing!

For years I've been using KeepassXC on desktop and Keepass2Android on mobile. Rather than sync the kdbx file between my devices, I have each device access it through the network. Either via sftp, smb, or nfs, but regardless I need to connect to my home's VPN to access it when away from home since I don't directly expose those things to the outside world.

I used to also keep a second copy of the website-tied passwords in Firefox Sync, but recently tried migrating that to Proton Pass because I thought the PIN feature might help, then ultimately decided to move away from that too and start using the KeepassXC-Browser plugin instead. I considered Bitwarden too but haven't tried it out yet, was somewhat deterred by seeing people say its UI seems very outdated.

I've set up Vaultwarden as I used Bitwarden before that and it made switching very easy. Doesn't get easier than that, synced passwords across all your devices/browsers.

passwords.txt on a full-disk encryption HDD.

What if the HDD catches on fire or the room gets flooded while you're not home?

I backup stuff both on a MicroSD and on web storage with duplicity. Hopefully that is enough!
