Your passwords aren't unavailable at least with Keepass, I don't know about Vaultwarden. There is a local encrypted copy of the database, it's accessible completely offline. I sync mine through self-hosted Nextcloud, it doesn't care if my server is up or on fire. Even if I lose everything remote permanently, I still have the local copy. I have it on my phone, I have it on my desktop, I have it on my laptop, I have it at a backup site at my brother's house in a different part of the country, I can have it distributed across dozens of locations.

True, I think I'll just put the .kbdx keepass db file into my mailbox.org webdav mount for simplicity if I go with keepass. Though the Android Keepass DX app doesn't play well with accessing kbdx over an Android documentprovider for webdav like davx5 or material files
Nice to see a fellow keepass/mailbox user! I used to store my .kbdx file on the mailbox.org cloud as an emergency backup from my nextcloud home server. Until mailbox.org decided to remove the 100MB webdav storage from paid basic accounts...
@thyristor well, I store it on my instance provider's Nextcloud instance. If it hits the limit in any way (500 MB) I'll just choose a different solution.
I did this last Mondayโฆ very easy. You export your passwords, Create a new account on the .eu server, Import you passwords to the eu account, Contact support asking to move the license from .com account to .eu account, They reply with an automated response, You reply, They move it.
Ta da!! (โ๏พใฎ๏พ)โ
I did it. Was trivial, didn't take long.
Given that you can also export the vault in json, CSV and json (encrypted), it should not be too difficult to transfer to the new one. I have migrated from keepass to vaultwarden, then moved the vaultwarden between home servers without difficulty.
I backup vaultwarden locally and to borgbase, and managed to get my vault backup after simulating a crash. However in reality, the few times I have had actual problems with a connection while away from home, I made do with the local copies available on my phone, tablet and/or laptop. You can't create new passwords if your Server is down but you have access to the client copy of existing passwords since it last synced. I don't keep my email password on there so in one rare case I just created a new password to logon to something urgently.
Doesn't matter where the data is located. They'll always have access to the data. (Not decrypted but the same as they would in the US) Even if it's in Europe. Best you can do is to switch to self hosted like vaultwarden or a non-US solution like 1password.
Huh didn't realize 1P is Canadian. Still, would prefer open source
That's never wrong
Proton (Switzerland) has a pretty good option called ProtonPass
The client might be open source, the server isn't. Plus the CEO is questionable at best.
I moved to protonpass after lastpass fucked around, then moved to self host after proton ceo fucked around.
