You could also use Vaultwarden an open source fork of Bitwarden. It works with the official app and don’t know why you need Ente for 2FA as Bitwarden/Vaultwarden also covers that AFAIK
Vaultwarden is not a fork, it's a reimplementation of the server.
Usually the point of 2fa is to protect the account if the password is comprimised, so not keeping the password and the 2fa in the same place seems logical
Okay but this also implies that Vaultwarden with your passwords was compromised. I understand your point having passwords and 2FA in two separate places but in the end having 2FA at all is better than not having it even if you have it in the same place.
Password manager is too important for me to self-host IMO
Well, for me, a password manager is too important to entrust to a for-profit company.
Bitwarden keeps a copy of your vault on clients.
So even if you lose your Vaultwarden/Bitwarden server files, you will have a local copy on every device you use.
I second vaultwarden Rec I’ve been using it for a while. It doesn’t have TOTP or other 2FA features tho as far as I’m aware so I do vaultwarden + Ente and it works well
It does have 2FA: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden#features
