It lives in a database on your own server, not in 1Password & LastPass's cloud. Export it, back it up or move it — nobody can cut off your access to it.
Self-hosted 1Password & LastPass alternative on your own server
Vaultwarden and Passbolt: open-source software that does what 1Password & LastPass does, which you deploy and own. Paste a repo or pick a one-click template — Railyard adds the database, HTTPS and backups.
Why teams switch
Why teams move off 1Password & LastPass
Add as many teammates as you want. The price is the server, not a line item for every person who logs in.
It's a container running ordinary open-source software. If you ever want to run it somewhere else, the code and the data both go with you.

Questions
Questions people ask before switching
Is there a free way to run Vaultwarden and Passbolt?
The software is free and open source. You pay only for the server it runs on — Railyard's Free plan covers 1 server plus a database server and 3 apps, no card required.
Will it do everything 1Password & LastPass does?
Open-source alternatives cover the core workflow well; some advanced or niche 1Password & LastPass features may not have an equivalent yet. Try it on a free 7-day server before you commit a team to it.
Can I import my existing data?
Most of these apps support importing from 1Password & LastPass or a standard export format such as CSV or JSON, or a migration tool documented upstream. Check each app's own docs for the exact import path.
Who maintains the software if something breaks?
The open-source project maintains the app itself. Railyard keeps the container patched, backed up and running, and you can roll back a bad deploy in one click.
