Edit: it has to be available on Android

keepassDx from fdroid

been using it for years. You have to change a setting for it to auto suggest logins but then it mostly just works

sync the file with syncthing

Vaultwarden is compatible and can be self-hosted.

Keepass DX/XC (mobile/desktop) + syncthing to sync the database file between devices is the best solution out there. You can also put the database file in your cloud to follow the 3-2-1 backup.

One tip i would recommend to OP

Sync a copy of the db. So update on your laptop and copy the db file to the syncthing folder. This stops you phone or other device from accidently messing up your db, not that it has happened to me but it is a possibility with syncing as a concept.

Then just use the db on the phone to access on the go but add/modify entries on the laptop and repeat the process.

It seems tedious but its not.

My workflow is like so

Update / edit the db on the laptop.
Run a script to copy the db to the sync folder.
This syncs to my phone and server
Then treat the phone copy as read only

If i need to make a password on the phone i send it to myself on signal and add it on the laptop to keepass using signal desktop.

This way i have a source of truth plus a distributed copy in multiple locations. The server copy gets inculded in my routine backups too

Yeah that's basically what I meant I just didn't feel like typing the whole explanation out.

keepassDX + aegis + syncthing = based

Is aegis for 2fa? If that's so its not necessary, keepass can already store 2fa.

Yes but storing the password and the TOTP secret in the same place kinda defeats the concept of 2FA

Separating 2fa and passwords is good practice. If one side gets compromised the other is still okay.
