> online vault which is a critical feature of any password manager
I guess by "online" you mean access to your passwords using nothing but a web browser. I can see how that could be a requirement for certain users (e.g. employees permitted to make personal use of a work computer but not install any software) but disagree that that's a critical feature.
I used Dropbox to sync my 1Password vaults (including a shared vault with my spouse) from 2013 but never used the "trick" of publishing it through the public folder before Dropbox dropped that feature in 2017. I continued using Dropbox to sync vaults until last year when I upgraded to 1Password 7 and a family subscription.

- extra88 5y ago> you've probably never lost your phone while traveling. Yes, like most people, I have not. If I did, on most trips I’ve had a laptop and anything critical would also be in the shared vault on my spouse’s phone. If I didn’t have any of that, I could install the client on another device to access my vault, if someone would let me; a risk but possibly worthwhile in some critical hypothetical and not really different than using a browser on it (I don’t even know what such a scenario would be, if I was robbed of everything?). Or I could buy a device (even if I was robbed, I could call my parents to pay).
