What's your alternative? If it's just memorizing a huge set of passwords plus the ability to add to that set whenever you need, that's awesome. But if you're doing what most people do instead of a password manager, which is just re-use two or three passwords for everything, then you don't just have a single point of failure. You have dozens of points of failure. You're not letting "a business" know all your passwords, you're letting many businesses know your password, singular. Also, password managers don't only come from "businesses". I use pass[0], which just gpg encrypts passwords in a git repo. If you're willing to set up sshd, git, and gpg on your devices, you can use pass. That said I still recommend that people coming from the "old way" use something like 1Password or LastPass if self-hosted is not for them. I share your distaste for giving the keys to the kingdom to a single business, but it's better than the alternative. I trust LastPass more than I trust the weakest member among a random set of other businesses. 0. https://www.passwordstore.org/ https://www.passwordstore.org/
