What is the best cross-platform password manager?

Pros

Pro
Allows setting up own server

Yith Library's server code is available on Github along with instruction on how to set it up. It requires enough knowledge to set up and run a server in a virtual Python environment.

Pro
Passwords are encrypted client-side

Yith Library uses client side JS encryption to ensure that passwords never travel in clear text.

Pro
Free and open source

Yith Library is licensed under AGPL with source code available on GitHub.

Cons

Con
Poor user experience

Yith Library is confusing. It's hard to navigate, it ask for permissions without explaining why or how those permissions will be used, none of the UI elements are explained and the language is iffy at best.
