    Simple solution for password manager leakage - KeepassXC or selfhosted bitwarden. All blame is on you then.

      Right, so everyone should just do without synchronization to mobile devices or set up their own Bitwarden. That sounds like a solution for the masses.

        If you are using a browser with password sync, you have the same possible data leakage problem as with a password manager.

        If you aren’t using a browser with sync, then you… have no sync.

        So you get five options, all with some downsides

        Browser:

        • no sync to other devices

        Browser (with sync):

        • possible data leakage

        Password manager (in cloud):

        • possible data leakage

        Password manager (KeePassXC with no sync):

        • no sync to other devices

        Selfhosted password manager:

        • more difficult to set up
