The only successful exploits of password managers has been through browser plug-ins... why is there so much demand for them? KeePassXC supports auto-type (will enter your username and password) with one keystroke; BitWarden supports super-easy copying of your username, password, and TOTP code. So having a browser plugin would save me much time and cuts by 100% the time spent worrying if the browser plug-in is secure.
