| You'll still have your e-mail address exposed, which you may not want if it is to some random porn site. Moreover, password managers do not work if you use multiple devices for log in, which most people actually do. |

| I use my password manager across multiple devices daily. Apparently it has not been working without me noticing it? |

There's an app/extensions nowadays, man! I don't even bother with a VPN, just occasionally push a 'sync' button on the roaming devices [when they return to LAN]. DB transactions [new credentials] averages ~0 per month... but there's plenty of capacity. Works extremely well. | | |
| ▲ | quadruple 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | The truth is that even with KeePassXC, I just really do not notice stale passwords across devices.
It's just really not a huge deal for me personally. Maybe it is for normal people.
I sync my databases maybe once a year if I'm lucky. | | |
| ▲ | bravetraveler 21 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Right, that's what I was trying to emphasize. Rare syncs are totally fine here, too. I try to keep a routine but tend to slip. If not 'with my usual device' there's a tiny number of accounts I even need. Nevermind how rarely they actually change. | |
| ▲ | palata 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Same here. I use pass, and I just don't create/update passwords that often. And synchronising is very easy (it's a git repo). |

| ▲ | bjourne 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | ... And how do you access the passwords that password manager manages? | | |
| ▲ | palata 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | With the "password manager" program? I have one on my desktop and one on my smartphone. How do you expect to access the passwords that the password manager manages? | | |
| ▲ | bjourne 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | ... Can everyone in the world ready our passwords or are they "protected" somehow? |

| If you sign in with Google, the site knows your gmail address. |
