I have moved to KeepassXC[1] on my desktop from Bitwarden. On phone, I use KeepassDX[2] which is Android client compatible with KeepassXC. On browser, I use KeepassXC Browser extension which connects with the desktop client. Since KeepassXC operates on a single file, you can use any Filesystem syncing tool to sync that file between devices or to store it in the cloud. I am really happy with the move.

This is my exact plan too, if I ever have to leave the Apple ecosystem.

KeePass is such a backwards step in usability and features that I don’t even consider it a competitor. The whole reason I moved to 1Password was to get away from how easy it was to accidentally lose data with the KeePass clients.

For example, one client I used had a temporary bug that just lost the notes field entirely. It was quickly fixed but it still affected me.

I’m currently using 1Password, which I still think is the best product overall as I’ve tried just about all the rest. For this product category I’m happy to pay the highest price to get the best product.
