Stop Self-Hosting Your Password Manager - Do This Instead
How-to Geek, Friday, January 30th, 2026
I self-host almost every service I use in my homelab. If I can self-host it, chances are, I do-except for passwords. I refuse to self-host my password manager, and find that a hosted password manager gives me the peace of mind I need for my digital life.
I have quite a few different servers running in my homelab where I self-host quite a few services. I've ditched streaming services, canceled Audible, and even host a few of my own websites. However, none of those services are what I'd consider to be 'mission-critical,' meaning if they go down for any amount of time, it's not the end of the world.
