I don't use Chrome, and don't use browser-based password management. Why would I want to trust a third party with the most secure aspect of my digital life? The answer to the question, "What do you do when online password managers are insecure and compromised by bad actors?" Isn't to use a different online password manager.

Keepass.

Proton is obviously promoting their own product: proton pass. I tried it and found that it needs a little more development time. Just a little polishing.

In the meantime, Bitwarden is fantastic. I also hear good things about onepass. Don’t use chrome’s password manager.

Yeah this is basically an ad.

Also to note: all they say about the built-in password manager of Firefox is that it lacks the feature to save credit cards. But I don't care about that and am perfectly happy using Firefox (alongside pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/) on my laptop).

Yeah, I very recently switched my personal email over to Proton but there's no way I'm letting go of BitWarden. I've tried a lot of password managers over the years, and nothing beats it.

Probably not, but it sure works good.
