I use vaultwarden (open source implementation of bitwarden server). Yes it's a seperate service to manage, but it's a dedicated password/secrets manager that can do otp codes.
I've been running the docker container for a few years now and it's been rock solid.
Interesting... I found the idea of hosting my own password manager daunting. What if I mess up, lose access, etc... But now a days I believe to have a solid setup, more understanding... Guess I could go that route
The bitwarden clients themselves do keep a cached version of the database every time there is a successful sync to the server, so if you were to take the server offline you could still view / export the data thankfully! You cannot make changes to the database according to that page and my own experience, though others have reported that they are able to. Additionally, it looks like this cache does expire (30 days on desktop, 90 on mobile).
Just make sure to not log out completely (this is not the same as locking the vault, which is fine), this wipes the cache immediately.
