Reevaluating my password management (sh.itjust.works)

It never made sense to me to put password managers in the cloud. Regards to what you intend it to do, you’re making it accessible to a wider audience than necessary. And yet, I’m using iCloud. It’s time for a change.

I’m thinking of just running a locally hosted password manager on my home server and letting my devices sync with it somehow when I’m at home. I have a VPN into my home network when I’m away that automatically triggers when I leave the house, so even that’s not that big an issue, but I’m really not familiar with what’s gonna cleanly integrate with all my stuff and be easy to use. All I know is I wanna kill the cloud functionality of my setup.

I already have a jellyfish server so I figured I would just throw this onto that. Any suggestions?

try to sneakily make me register passcodes

Can you expand on this? I'm not sure what this means. Is it like instead of a full fledged password, just a four digit PIN or something? Thanks.

For some reason, when I registered my phone number for delivery notifications, it made a passkey and registered it with my account. It never prompted me to save the passkey, so I had no idea where it was supposed to be used. I immediately deleted it because I was concerned I wasn't going to be able to log in if I logged out without knowing what that passkey was and had it in my password manager.
