Can I discourage rolling your own password manager (like using a text doc or spreadsheet) and instead recommend what you hopefully meant, self-hosting your own password manager?
I don't know what you're trying to say. I think it was safe to assume Salty probably meant the local-based keepass or something like that?
I wouldn't have immediately gone to text doc or spreadsheet. those aren't password managers.
The only annoying part about the modern world is that you want to have that keepass file synchronized between devices, at which point you either go down the path of something like Synchthing (not mainstream user friendly) or you just end up asking yourself "fine, what cloud service do I trust to not go looking at my files?"
I always synced my database manually either directly over usb, or wifi (KDE Connect). I have to admit that it's not really user friendly, but once I got used to it, it's no problem at all.
And uploading it to any cloud service should be fine as long as it's encrypted with a strong password. But that kind of defeats the point of an offline password-manager in my opinion.
I have mine in a self hosted Nextcloud instance, best of both worlds
