Retroactive
Retroactive only receives limited support. Run Aperture, iPhoto, and iTunes on macOS Sonoma, macOS Ventura, macOS Monterey, macOS Big Sur, and macOS Catalina. Xcode 11.7 on macOS Mojave. Final Cut Pro 7, Logic Pro 9, and iWork ’09 on macOS Mojave or macOS High Sierra.
Keeweb looks nice. On macOS I use KeePassXC[0] but I'm not a huge fan of it. Will give Keeweb a try.
On iOS I switched to KeePassium[1] for my database a while back and its very nice. It integrates with biometric unlock and iOS password management so I can get at easily from anywhere and it stays in sync with the stored database (via a self-hosted Seafile[2] instance) nicely.
The setup has served us (two users) well with few hiccups and good support for dealing with the rare conflicts that do arise.

Bitwarden is awesome. I use the free version and it covers all that I need. All the clients and the server are open-source, you can self-host it for free, and there are even alternative server implementations like https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs
Those of you looking for an alternative, consider moving your data to a Keepass database. Its a more or less open file format, which a lot of different tools can read.
My goto tool currently is Keeweb - https://keeweb.info/. Its basically a SPA, can be used offline or online.
Keeweb + a google drive hosted keepass database file keeps my passwords available and synced across 5-6 different devices.
Terminal gurus might like what I've been working on lately:

Free and open-source, keep control in your own hands, forever. Encryption with gpg, sync with git. Compatible with pass, which means better support and easy migration.
The UX of the pass iOS app [1] vs. the Android app [2] (especially the need for OpenKeychain on Android) is the main reason keeping me on iOS.

Re the generator, there's the passwordrules proposal: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3518
Some systems are already using it -- e.g. I know that Apple's generate-password helper does it.
I use this docker image: https://github.com/BytemarkHosting/docker-webdav, but with a PR that has yet to be merged that makes it easy to use a different UID/GUID [1]. I've tried to do it with nginx, as described in [2], but it just did not work reliably - it would often disconnect and instead of going down a debugging rabbit hole I just used the Apache based image. There is also a Go server [3] that I have not tried.
Lastly, I put an nginx reverse-proxy in front of it for SSL - probably not necessary since nothing is on the public internet.

For all kinds of reasons, I hate what they did there, abandoning Aperture functionality — there remains zero other software that fills what Aperture did for me. Even though Capture One and Adobe Lightroom Classic can both import from it to a degree:

That said, Aperture could still open an Aperture library using the final versions of Aperture up until Mojave.
From the time Aperture was discontinued, Aperture itself worked through six versions of MacOS, until Catalina.
As of Catalina, Aperture no longer ran native[1], but Photos itself could still open and migrate those libraries (note: I have not tried in Big Sur).
While Photos didn’t recognize everything initially, before Aperture became unsupported, Photos did eventually handle tags, non-destructive edits, JPEG+RAW pairs, referenced files, and albums.
Apple eventually got the parity enough I was able to move a quarter million photos over into Photos, and haven’t needed to re-open Aperture in a couple years, which is good, as I no longer have anything still on Mojave.
What to do if you’re on Catalina or newer, and need them:

1. ‘Retroactive’ is a tool that gets Aperture working on Big Sur and Catalina: https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive
”All Aperture features should be available except for playing videos, exporting slideshows, Photo Stream, and iCloud Photo Sharing. If RAW photos can't be opened, you need to reprocess them.”

We wanted to move away from Lastpass, so we wanted to make own offline vault (and remove the need to maintain any extra servers and subscriptions).
