Password vault for android - not needing an internet presence

[Desertprep]

I am looking for a recommendation for a password vault app that works with Windows, Linux and Android, and does not need to uses the internet to sync passwords for other devices. What are my options? Ideal would be to be able to sync to my desktop, but I am willing to use a thumb drive to keep everything updated. I do 90% of my surfing on my desktop anyway.

Looks good! but it also looks web-based. I am looking for something that can stand alone, or sync via thumbdrive or wifi/bt to my desktop.

It might help to know why you want something that doesn't use internet syncing. I think most every password manager is going to have that function, even if you can still manually import and export your vault onto a thumb drive or something similar.

I use Enpass.

I have it installed on my Win 11 PC & my Android devices. The sync method I use is directly from my device to the PC & vice versa using my home wifi network. They need to be connected to the same network to sync.

According to this link, it will work on Linux:

Keepass has various flavors mostly compatible with one another and was probably one of the best out there.

However with Android 15 and looking at development history, I think it's probably done. New ones pop up but are either sketchy or not maintained long after release.

Prior to that KeepassDX for Android and KeepassXC for Windows were amazing.

That's the same app I'm using. I can verify that it works with Linux.

Thanks for verifying that it does work with Linux.

I really like that Enpass allows you to have multiple vaults. I don't want evey password I have on every device I own.
Also, the fact that the data stays local.

I've recently gotten into the habit of using Google Password Manager (the features/functions basically baked into Android) and Chrome (integration of such with Google Password Manager) together, for apps/websites where I need to login or have accounts. Then, a separate browser for general browsing (because I don't like how Chrome basically forces one to also be logged into Google.com).

I also don't understand the point of needing to use a Password Manager that doesn't provide for sync across devices, since almost all accounts/credentials that folks have are for online connected services via either apps or web browser, and most people want the benefit of the credentials backed up to the cloud, and not wanting to have to periodically do manual sync between devices using some sort of local or physical method. So, probably every Password Manager has been designed with those sorts of features in mind.

In theory, one could just use a spreadsheet file or a note document file to contain all of one's passwords, and then just put that somewhere in the cloud with any secure online cloud service (eg: OneDrive, DropBox, Google drive) or securely store that locally. However, there won't be integration with browser/apps for auto/assisted fill and one will have to manually refer to the file periodically, plus potentially rely on copy/paste between (which in theory has its own set of concerns for what else might be able to read the copy and pasting). For smooth integration features, I think one is stuck choosing between the major existing Password Manager offerings, and then choosing to specifically not make use of some of their features.
