I decided to go for KeePass[^].
It's ugly.
But all is stored locally with high encryption, no need to connect to any server somewhere.
And even Bitwarden seems much nicer (aesthetically) I should have installed a docker container in my NAS to act as my personal server to avoid sending all my passwords into the cloud which seems too much overkill to me.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH everybody who posted an answer and a hint.

Take that back! The interface can be considered "old school" by today's standard, but it's compact and functional. To me it's the peak usability. None of that modern big flat and empty surfaces crap taking valuable screen real estate.
Look at this crap! Something like 70% of the screen is nothing. I understand developers not caring about performance and expecting users to throw more hardware at the problem, but that does not work with monitors... I mean at some point user's room will not be large enough to fit the screen needed to display your damn application.

Luckily Ultra-Wide monitors are getting more and more affordable!

Clearly you've not seen those futuristic films about hacking where the password occupies the whole 9000 inches screen the hacker has to use a command line interface.

God bless Mr. Robot for at least breaking from that mold somewhat.

I like that.
I agree it's what a Win32 desktop app can be expected to look like. I think some people have just developed a twisted view of what an app should look like because they spend so much time on a freakin' phone.

The reason I like Keeper is that it stores my passwords in the cloud and then I can access them from any device on earth. laptop, phone, pc, doesn't matter. It has browser extensions, stand alone desktop app, and mobile apps.
Good luck with KeePass!  If you ever want something better (overall) IMHO, try Keeper.

i used KeePass for a long time. kept it on a thumb drive on my keyring.
now i just use LastPass, because it's available on all the OS's i use.

JUUN Software on LinkedIn: #teatime[^] 
As some of you know I quit my job in August 2019 to focus on my own company, JUUN Software, full time.
I've had a good start, then some difficult months, and things are going very well right now!
Got a project I've inherited (WinForms VB.NET and Crystal Reports, yikes!), some work that was cancelled (postponed?) because of COVID, some projects I've done (and doing) from scratch and some nice returning customers.
For next year I've got even more projects lined up!
Despite COVID, I've had a great professional year
I got those mugs last week and since it came up I wanted to brag about my mugs too! (haven't tried them in the microwave yet though)

Congratulations!
My current prospects are pretty good as well. Two of my gigs I got basically because of Code Project.

I can't share it but I think you'd be pleased with my paid code.
It looks quite a bit different, because I don't like writing code the way I know others need it written. It's *work*, not for fun.
Best regards.

Work and fun aren't mutually exclusive, but doing something for yourself still feels different somehow

Sure. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy my work. But when I wrote code for work I write code less fluidly, and to a more rigorous standard, and imposing that standard on myself is work.

How does one get a gig via CodeProject?

I was writing articles here, and somebody that was reading them ended up retaining me to write some code.
Also Codeproject has a sister company? of sorts called ContentLab that produces technical articles for clients, and they hire developers to write content for them.
So I've been doing some of that too.

So you have become one of the "consultant" brigade. Having done that for a decade in the mid 90s I can sympathise with your plight. It is an absolute nightmare when you have too much work in the pipeline and it is even worse when the pipeline is empty.
It is very much tougher if you are also raising a family, inconsistent cashflow creates tensions you would not believe. Try to get some sort of work/life balance.
Be wary of expanding you workforce, management requirements expand exponentially beyond 1.
Congrats with getting it started and good luck keeping it going smoothly.

I have experienced the latter, but not the former.

And so far there hasn't been an in-between!

No issues there, single without kids, plenty of savings and very little monthly expenses
I have an uncle in that situation though and yeah, stressed out, always worrying about the money.
