If they let me do that (and have more than one local vault) I'd still be using 1Password.

I have no particular qualms with paying for software whether as a one-time purchase or a subscription.

I just don't want all my stuff syncing to and reliant on 1Password's infra.

I'll pay them $5/mo to self-host my own passwords. But they won't let me. So I switched to KeepassXC.
