I keep seeing people highly recommend them, but I’ve always thought it wasn’t very secure.

    I do SyncThing and KeePass.

    Their URLs at time of writing are https://syncthing.net/ and https://keepass.info/

    I don’t remember which KeePass UI for Android I use. I think I use Syncthing Fork on Android

    That gives me the benefits of a cloud password manager, but the only cloud infrastructure is whatever SyncThing uses to do its peer-to-peer tricks. The password database is encrypted on disk with my root password, and then it’s encrypted end-to-end in transit because every SyncThing node knows the public keys of my other nodes.

    I almost never upgrade KeePass because I’m afraid of losing access to my passwords on my phone. SyncThing I do upgrade because that’s easier to fix.

    If you upgrade regularly, you’re vulnerable to the project being compromised. If you never upgrade, you’re vulnerable to whatever old code is vulnerable to. Personally I err on the side of not upgrading often.

    I also have my own implementation of diceware https://www.eff.org/dice

      I think, based on the question asked, this is a bit more complicated than OP is interested in. Just saying. But bravo for your dedication to keeping info out of corporate hands.
