You can also export to CSV too, obviously that can go anywhere and
you would have to be careful about the file.

I don't think there is a different program. This one does not have
internet access permissions permitted so there is no automatic syncing.
I like that, some people who don't there is a different version.

It's a password store, not a password creator, so it'll happily store
whatever you give it. I still use pwgen for creating them, at times.

My first store was something like that, a very long ago. Back then, sure
it was ok, with all the obvious problems that entails like you need to
have a plaintext file to edit it.

Next was pwman3 which was ok, but sometimes and increasingly most times
I need the password when I'm not in front of that computer which is
why I changed. The searching was also annoything while awallet searches
across all fields.
