You can have the best of both worlds. If Bitwarden's datacenters got corrupted/wiped/hacked/ransomware'd you can have a Keepass DB which mirrors all your Bitwarden creds, and stored locally / synced to a few cloud servers.

The caveat being: you have to manually copy over any credentials from Bitwarden to Keepass, which is time consuming but one day maybe worth it.

pass-import works pretty well; create an initial empty KeePass DBX file first and keep a copy to re-use, then one can re-run pass-import to import BW to a fresh KDBX on a recurring basis with a simple script.

That's a neat tool. But I meant when you create a new credential entry, you have to manually mirror it in Keepass each time you add something in Bitwarden. Doing an import just for one entry is overkill.
