Goddammit. It's getting to the point I'm going to have to figure out how to write my own app for this.
It shouldn't even be that complex...
I might be mistaken, but ultimately a password manager is basically nothing more than a database of passwords in an encrypted zip file, right? That could entirely be self-hosted with off the shelf open source applications stringed together.
All you'd need is a nice UI stringing it all together.
Edit: I'm not sure why people are downvoting me. Is that not what a password manager essentially is?
That is the bare minimum of a password manager like Bitwarden.
