1Password wades into a right-wing mess after funding a Linux project
a month ago by ryper to c/technology
1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

Then you forgot the whole point of password managers which is having a place to store all your credentials, what you said are not reasons to not use a password manager but rather some good practices that you can use alongside a password manager lol
Having all of your credentials stored sounds like a detriment and a pointless amount of trust for a shady group like 1Password who conspire with literal fascists.
This is why I've not used one. The whole point of passwords is privacy, yet people put them all in one place controlled by someone else where you have no way to verify how secure they actually are. And you need a password to get into it, so now there's one password that could be breached to gain access to everything.
You could probably use a local password file like Keepass.
But why? The user said it was stupid to keep them all in one place controlled by somebody else, and if keepass never updates then that is its own can of worms. You would literally be better off with sticky notes than that because then at least attackers have to be present locally.
It is encrypted.

I don't use password managers and I've never been exposed.
If your password is 16 characters with a letter, number, symbol, and is more than 1 word it will take millions of years to brute force. Just use multiple passwords and change the important ones every few months in case of data breach and you're golden.
Forgot your password? If you have access to an email with multiple 2-factor you can recover any account in about a minute.
