I moved away from KeePassXD to Pass, the standard Unix password store. Downside is the setup is more complex and I couldn't get it to work on Windows. Upside is passwords are stored in plain text files encrypted with standard gpg and synced with git so its maximally portable and future proof. It's more hackable (in the sense that you can easily extend functionality, like using fzf to enhance search, not that it's easier to break). It's on the command line. I really like not having to keep a separate app open since I mostly work in a terminal window. It has a lot of ui programs as well including phone apps and browser extensions.
