A few years ago I set up KeepassXC using Syncthing temporarily to sync the database across all my devices. I fully expected to have to move to Nextcloud for database file management.
The KeepassXC / Syncthing combination has worked so well that I have no reason to change it. The databases are seamlessly synced across all devices (including my phone) without requiring any attention from me. Database issues due to multiple device use are almost nonexistent.
One note: For me Syncthing works much better with multiple devices using a star topology. When I initially set up a mesh configuration I had regular file sync issues. With a star topology they are very rare.
There were some repository ownership questions a few months back that were ironed out. In addition, Fdroid vets apps far better than Google ever has so I’m comfortable with the app’s security.

I agree but they aren’t checking every version for malicious changes. they would likely only get to know if a user checks it and notices it, and the developer could just make the change for a single release version.
of course that applies to any app but this handover/takeover was very sketchy.

What do you use on a phone?

Oh, sorry, I meant the password manager. There’s multiple KDBX compatible apps.
