@NaibofTabr@Blemgo KeePass solves the problem of existing long before any of the networked one. Back in 2003 most people didn’t even have multiple devices to keep in sync, or if they did they kept the database file on a floppy disk.
Yeah, I sort of agree that networked password safes nowadays are objectively better than offline ones like KeePass. However, KeePass isn’t fully obsolete due to them, as it still offers an additional layer of security compared to online ones, as you effectively put their trust into these services. With an offline database however you aren’t subjected to the whims of the provider you put your trust in, but rather the software you use. And of course, your system can also be compromised, rendering this advantage null and void, but an online database wouldn’t help with that either.
Overall, this advantage is overkill for most users, granted. Still, it’s pretty important tool for those who are under threat of surveillance, or those who don’t like to trust online systems.

so… it’s obsolete?
