    I think a lot of these cloud-based password vaults will have a local database that syncs with the cloud. I think you can unlock them and access your passwords without internet access

      Keyword… unlock, not add information or use them offline where they can sync to an open source backend. They are cloud-based password managers that are designed to operate online. The backend is not open source. It is designed to lock you into a walled garden.

        The unlocking happens locally. it’s simply decrypting. also, i think you can export the data from proton pass.

        it’s a cloud solution. keepassxc works great and I don’t know why you want something else to replace it
