Your argument has nothing to do with cloud storage or password managers generally and seems to be an argument against automatic updates. So, fine, disable automatic updates (although I'd argue you're safer with them).
I also baked in the presumption that the software isn't malicious in my comment and called it out. So, sure, yes malware that leaks your password can exist. That doesn't really have any effect on whether password managers are a good thing or trustworthy.
- vkou 5y agoIf the client for a cloud password manager is open-source, I'm inclined to trust it about as much as I would a non-cloud open-source password manager.
