I never understood the appeal of web-based password managers. KeePass all the way, all offline, no randomly changing UI, everything in a single .db file. Need syncing? Use Cloud storage service.

It works until you have conflict edits on different device and need merging.

I stick to adding entries on my desktop and distributing copies to my clients. Its better for me to limit syncing between devices.

the appeal is that it's a one click solution that works everywhere. If you have multiple devices, even worse if it's a mix of Android, Iphone, Windows, Mac, Linux you now have to find some cross platform sync solution on every device, the autofill functions of the various plugins don't work half the time, it usually ends up being an annoying mess. And if you need secure credential sharing with family members it's ten times more complicated yet again.

Can it fill passwords in iPhone Safari?

Yes, via the KeePassium client:

As with all iOS apps, there’s no guarantee that the open source app code on GitHub corresponds to what you install from the App Store.

I have been very satisfied with KeePassium, it integrates with all the cloud storage providers I’d want and the app itself works well.

Yes, with integrations like Strongbox

You can do the same with Bitwarden by having the vault in your local computer.

Agreed. Too many places where things can go wrong.
