I'm not a big fan of KeePass, although many of you probably are, and I can understand why you would be. It simply hasn't been the best fit for my needs.

That said, I've been looking for an online password vault as an alternative to KeePass. One that respects my privacy and only uses free software. Bitwarden seems to fit all the requirements I had. 100% free software licensing, and all passwords are encrypted on my device prior to hitting their servers, so they have no access to my unencrypted passwords. https://bitwarden.com/

Everything is available on github, and you can download and run your own instance if you prefer to do that. https://github.com/bitwarden

They've got GNU/Linux apps and browser extensions to do all the work. It's a very interesting project.

The one thing that gives me pause is that they are using the Microsoft Azure cloud to host their services. However, Microsoft will not get access to any data about me, and the alternatives are probably to use the Amazon or Google clouds to host it, which have their own issues.

I'd be interested in any thoughts by anyone, especially on the Azure cloud-hosting issue.

Self-hosting seems to address your concern.

If I could self-host it on my own machines that would be something different but I would not store my passwords, authorization keys, etc. with any third party under any circumstances regardless of what of form it's in.
