I would love to use one, but to be honest, I have not found one that I trust, so far.
The perfect “password manager” would require 2FA, has some kind of “online backup” (cloud) that I can host myself and has to be open source. So far nothing really seems to offer all this.
Keepass has been around for ages. It has 2FA via for example using an external file as the certificate in addition to a password. The database can be stored in Dropbox, google drive, or self hosted. I use synching for example.
I’ve been using KeePassXC for a while, I like it much better than the official client. But even the official client’s download page give you a list of alternative clients.
I self host Vaultwarden at home on my server and it uses 2FA for logging into the system to access your saved passwords. It’s easy to set up and I use a Yubikey for mine. I use Docker to do this myself. It’s an adaptation of Bitwarden and is compatible the same Bitwarden app and browser plugins. Having everything on your own system ensures that it doesn’t go to the corporate controllers out there. Plus, you can find the source on Github for Vaultwarden so you can go over it if you are unsure about the security of it. :)

keepassxc can do this, bitwarden also AFAIK

IIRC it was partially “Windows only” and so not usable for me.
keepass might be but with it being open source it has a ton of ports mainly keepassxc for linux/macos/windows and keepassdx for android
I dont know what you mean by KeePass being partially Windows only, as KeePass clients exist on MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android.
See https://github.com/lgg/awesome-keepass for a curated list of KeePass clients for various OSes! :)

Bitwarden? Has 2FA, can self host, open source
Thanks for all the suggestions. I’ll check them out.
