Man am I glad that I picked KeypassXC as my password manager some years ago. Super safe, easy to use, costs nothing, not dependant on internet/cloud, can export data to another app at any time, transparent because open source.

I'm using Syncthing to synchronize across devices which arguably took some fiddling to set up but I only had to fiddle once and haven't touched the configuration since; it just works automagically in the background.

    I use KeepPass, what's the difference?

    Nothing major as far as I can tell. Here's an overview via SuperUser. KeePassXC might be a better option for some use cases if you're mostly not on Windows as it does not require .NET. Note that "KeePassXC does not support plugins at the moment and probably never will", but it does have built-in support for some things you might want a plugin for in KeePass2.

    .net is cross platform and has been for a while

    It does indeed. My job includes writing and deploying .NET apps on multiple platforms, and it works fine for me.

    But some people prefer not to use .NET when comparable native options are available, so they might prefer KeePassXC.
