Proton Pass Alternatives (lemmy.ml)

I personally love proton pass’s frontend app, but i don’t wanna host my data on proton’s servers(personal reasons). Is there any other password managers that support iOS, android, and browser extension, that is as good. (I tried bitwarden wasn’t good cuz on mobile I had to reenter master pass over and over. I tried keypassxc, but the frontend sucks and dealing with syncing between devices is a pain in the ass.) I appreciate everyone’s help!

Only the frontend. Not the backend, so you can’t self host without modifying both browser extension and mobile app, along with rewriting a server from scratch.

Okay fair enough, but that is at least slightly different than saying Proton isn’t FOSS, but I understand.

They have a pretty good FOSS standing and audits for software they distribute. While that doesn’t make it easy to host privately, it does make it trivial to see how data is shipped to their servers.
