Single point of failure and a separate entity has all of your passwords and you have to continue paying them or lose access to everything. Sounds like a terrible idea to me
There are password managers you can self host. Bitwarden being one of them. Secure it as much as you want and keep off-site encrypted backups if you're worried about a single point of failure.
Ah, yes, because self hosting is feasible for everyone
/s if that's not obvious
there should be a keepass+syncthing package available for normal people to use, i put keepass and syncthing on all my devices and that means I don't have to host a server while always having my password vault synced
You're right. It's better to just not use a password manager and use the same password on every site you go to.
