The idea of keeping my passwords in my work-sponsored password manager just sounds absurd. Who thinks that's a good idea? What happens when you leave the job?

My workplace doesn't offer this, but I like the idea of how 1Password does it. If your workplace has a business account with 1Password, each of the business users gets a personal account for free. If you change jobs you can pay for your own account, but it isn't tied to the company account other than getting it for free with the corporate account.

Ah that makes this make way more sense. Thanks for the insight.

Pretty much all the major vendors offer this now.

I personally find it to be a disgusting way to get customers. The company pays for the service, yet they also get to be the product.

What I did was use usernames on those services that included a few chars to remind me which business I'd created it for. I was a software engineer bug changed jobs/contracts on average about once per year (that's a very, very rough average though).

it's work-owned or work-managed accounts that get stored in a work-sponsored password manager.

most will come with free personal accounts for employees, if they want and choose to set them up. those are separate, and have smooth offboarding for the no-longer-employee.

exactly, it sounds more like a trap with the facade of benefit than passkey

Are you not keeping them separate? Are you using browser profiles?

It should be a default then not a suggestion we pass around in tech forums.

eh the companies account for that. for example 1password basically gives you a "free" extra personal account if you enroll into a work account. and when you leave, you just keep the personal account.

"free" because im not sure if your employer pays for it or if its like a free benefit to a bussiness licence

I deployed it for our company, I can confirm for you that as of this post, the personal account is a free benefit to the business license.
