    The big downside of this is when you need to log in to some web site when being away from your computer.

    Then you have to transfer your entire database to some other computer and make sure it’s deleted afterwards in a secure way. Much more risky than using Bitwarden I believe.

    I guess you can skip the deletion part if you trust there is no way to decrypt the db file in the future.

      On the rare occasion I need that, I just run KeePassDX Portable from a flash drive.

      But really it’s a bit risky to use any password manager on a device you don’t control.

      At least my KeePass database is secured with my YubiKey so it’s not likely anyone will get in if they do stumble onto my DB file.
