IMO Its fine to sync them with syncthing, as that’s end to end encrypted.
The vault is also encrypted so you are fine
KeePassXC ftw
I use Pass since a few years. It has a wonderful package for Emacs, and great iOS apps with face ID for ease of use, and the DB can sync to your own private git server behind tailscale. If you have a server, I definitely suggest looking into it. You can check it out at https://www.passwordstore.org/
Am I the only person here that never used one just because of this? They all sounded too sus to me.
Keeping them in your head? So, your passwords must be shit, lmao.

correct horse battery staple
for the average person’s home pc, writing them down on a sticky note or notebook is sufficient
if someone unauthorized is physically in your house then you have bigger problems than them knowing your facebook passwordAnd those handwritten notes are secure random passwords and never repeat?
Just too much work for the average person and too inconvenient to type.
