I remember when 1Password still supported local encrypted vaults that I could sync with my cloud provider of choice.

I’m specifically looking at Bitwarden and am wondering why it doesn’t support local vaults. Are there any good reasons that I’m unaware of?

(I am aware of the self hosting option, but I really don’t want to complicate things for myself.)

    I think most of the time it is a way to justify a monthly subscription for the password manager: you are using the servers of the company all the time, so it is fair to pay for them every month, right? Right? Before you could buy the software once and use it for a lifetime, only had to find a way to sync the vault with an other service. But then that other service has the monthly money influx and not the password manager… I cannot think of any other reason, to block this option.
