      So is your problem with using a password manager at all, or just the companies/sources of them?

        Any company trying to get my data, really, and my passwords are the most sensitive of my data. Even if I coded one myself, and kept it completely local, my passwords are all in one place if that device gets compromised.

        I can remember my passwords, so why take the gamble?

      Host it yourself if you don’t trust them with Vaultwarden, and other FOSS product you can audit.

        OK, but you need to come down to the War Farts Center.

    Who knows? I just keep track of my own passwords so when the rest of you find out I won’t be a part of it lol. Everyone on lemmy is so anti Google and anti Microsoft that it’s actually hilarious that so many just freely give EVERY SINGLE PASSWORD for their accounts to password management apps, like nothing bad could ever come from it.

    If you can keep track of your passwords yourself, why take such a massive gamble?

      You’re smarter than the collective wisdom of the entire cybersecurity community, I see. Researchers who have been doing this for decades have nothing on you. People with peer-reviewed studies and bucketloads of data are like pawns in the face of your vast intellect. When FOSS password managers fall, you’ll be the only one left standing and the world will bow at your feet. Certainly you are the first person to have ever thought of this.

        Be a sarcastic ass all you want, at least I can remember a password without relying on some random company lol. You keep giving all your passwords away though, no skin off my back

      That works great when you’re young, kid, bit when you get older, you’re going to be forgetting and resetting a lot of those passwords.
