Local-first password management: what is missing from current tools?
I am researching password-management habits among people who prefer local-first or non-cloud software.
The question is not whether everyone needs another password manager. I am trying to understand a narrower case:
- people who dislike vendor-hosted vaults
- people who do not want another account
- people tired of subscriptions
- people who like local files but find current tools too much work
If you use KeePass/KeePassXC, browser storage, Apple/Google Passwords, paper, notes, or something else, I would like to understand what still feels annoying or risky.
I made a short anonymous survey here:
It takes about 4-6 minutes. Comments here are also useful, especially if your answer is "existing tools are already enough."
