I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I've been happily using Bitwarden for this for a few years now. It has a decent comman-line client and is also free software, but it uses cloud sync rather than the DIY approach Keepass likes. But they're both good :)
Thanks for sharing Ben. When do you find yourself using the CLI client?
I was aware of BitWarden from years ago and it sounds solid now. When I browsed their website recently, I doubted it was the same thing! The first impression is that it is a business cloud product. The fact that it is something you can use locally and is free for personal use gets lost.

I pretty much don't use the CLI client, I'm just aware that it works because I've used it a couple of times. On a desktop I always have a browser open to copy something from and on a mobile device I don't have a CLI anyway.
Usually I'm a big fan of using the command line over GUIs, but with password management... I don't, for some reason!

I guess since typically a browser is a desktop app, using a browser extension is more practical. It can be handy to have the CLI occasionally too.
You could use a CLI web browser along with a CLI password manager. I don't know if itd be practical, but Im sure there is someone out there doing it!
I love Bitwarden! You can self host it too
