But what if you don’t want to self host your password manager? Any non terrible choices?

I prefer 1Password. They use a secure encryption key together with your master password. If you lose the encryption key, your data can’t be recovered. The key is only needed during the initial setup annd after that you unlock the vault on your device with your master password. This means if their database ever gets hacked, your data is encrypted in a way that not even you could get at unless you have that secure key.

I don’t think Bitwarden is a terrible choice. That said, I share the author’s concerns in general. How much does a non-selfhosted password manager cost? Weigh that against the cost of remote-mountable server storage, you can simply put your database there. (Both costs can be 0 btw)

Enpass works well for me across platforms.

Passbolt seems to be a upcoming competitor. It’s EU based, OSS, etc., but has not been audited as much as BW and has not achieved feature parity so far. But it looks very promising.
