I do not trust cloud based password managers even if they claim to be E2EE and all other stuffs. I only trust offline password managers like KeePassDX (using it right now) etc.
I'm surprised I don't see more people recommending KeePassDX! I agree and feel much more secure knowing exactly where my encrypted password vault is.
Also I recommend that people use Syncthing alongside KeePassDX so you can host your own cloudish environment to share the password vault between your devices. Keepass 2 is a great Windows/Linux application for interfacing with the .kbdx vault file format used by KeePassDX.
I have to chime in here, just because of how this post is written: Keepass 2 is not "a great application for files used by KeePassDX". It's the original. So if anything, KeePassDX is riding on KeePass 2, not the other way round. Sorry for my nitpicking, this is a "honor where honor is due" thing to me ;)
Please explain what e2ee is?
E2EE means End to end encryption.
Well, in the case of Bitwarden the client is open source so it can actually be reviewed whether or not it is actually encrypted. No need to trust anyone.
