    <p>I've been using KeePassX (and now KeePassXC) for a number of
      years. Cross-platform and open-source (GPL 2 or 3), and it does
      give you the option of exporting your database to CVS, HTML, or
      XML. No native cloud storage sync feature, but their FAQ states
      that this is a deliberate design decision.<br>

        <div dir="ltr">I have been using Bitwarden for several years
          now. My main move to Bitwarden was the fact it is all open
          source, available to be installed locally on my own servers if
          I want, and that it was much cheaper than any other solution.
          I can give some demos, but to give demos of some advanced
          features, I would need to either have a separate paid account
          or use my own, but the fact that it contains passwords and
          keys limits what I could display. I wanted to have my own
          install of Bitwarden, but never had much time for this.
          However, I would be willing to have an install on one of my
          VPS servers in Beauharnois. If there is an interest, I may try
          to find time to get something up and running.</div>

        <div dir="ltr">FYI: I used Lastpass previously, but they became
          very expensive, and numerous incidents were reported about
          Lastpass, although no passwords were reportedly leaked. As a
          comparison, Bitwarden costs $10 a year, and their price did
          not change for multiple years so far. <br>

            the past few months I've been looking into secure cloud
            storage, partly for<br>
            use with my writings (about 80GB) and partly for use for my
            own scripted<br>
            "password" manager. My password setup handles a lot of extra
            stuff like serial numbers,<br>
            document references and things that aren't passwords but
            just small text<br>
            blocks. Some of you have probably seen some queries I've put
            around about cloud<br>
            storage. Quite a bit of annoying detail there, and that has
            been written up<br>
            in draft form.<br>
            <br>
            A particular need is to export the data to a text file that
            is regularly<br>
            put on a USB in a secure storage for institutional
            executors, with the<br>
            decryption keys kept separately.<br>
            <br>
            Bitwarden looks like a possibility, if anyone has experience
            with it.<br>
            I'd also be interested in other perspectives.<br>
            <br>
            I've been writing up my investigations, and will be happy to
            give a talk<br>
            on my findings, as I can't believe issues like these are
            peculiar to me.<br>
            So comments and suggestions are welcome, if possible with
            context, as I've<br>
            been finding small details seem to get in the way of
            convenient usage.<br>
