3,0 Okay
Open-source password manager from Luxembourg, built for teams, with cloud hosting in Belgium/Germany or sovereign data center in Luxembourg. The catch: the interface is built for IT professionals and feels clumsier than consumer alternatives, and cloud plans require at least 10 users.
Best for: IT teams and regulation-heavy operations that require open source and full EU sovereignty
Pros
- Fully open source and auditable encryption
- Luxembourg company with data storage in the EU, plus sovereign data center in Luxembourg (Cloud Sovereign)

Cons
- Less polished interface than consumer products
- Cloud plans require at least 10 users
- Mobile apps lag behind competitors
