What's you guys' opinion on Safe in Cloud? Have been using it for several years now. It was dead cheap when I bought it and I still use it on all my devices.

Passwords are synced to our own cloud service, correct? Have you tried Enpass? That utilizes the same process. I've used it for a long time. But the only problem I had was that I had to sign in with my Google account every time I needed to use my password manager on a new device in order to sync passwords.

I switched to the BitWarden last month.

It makes sense to sync passwords to our cloud. However, considering the competition in the market, I'm not sure how long those brands will endure. Such thoughts caused me to choose a well-known alternative.

Enpass: Secure Passkey & Password Manager That Keeps Your Data On Your Cloud Storage

With Enpass, choose where your passwords and passkeys are secured and synced – on your personal or business clouds (or even offline). Not on our servers

All the password databases, especially closed source ones, have the problem that backup may be difficult, not verifiable, error prone etc. Storing passwords in the "cloud" may be risky, as lots of companies' servers are getting hacked regularly, some hack events remain unknown.

To solve all these problems, before even they popped up, there was the UNIX password manager : pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/). Individual passwords are stored in individual files, along with your chosen metadata (user name, URL etc.) all encrypted by PGP. Using a key.

Passwords can be individually used by decrypting. Or can be used by desktop os applications, mobile applications, browser plugins, command line, whatever you choose. Different types of clients are listed here : https://www.passwordstore.org/#other

There is no "database" to get corrupted or lost. Backing up individual files, all files, PGP keys which encrypt them, is all simple using simple file operations.

Backup locally/offline is very important.
You never know when your password manager is on list.
