      This may hurt some feelings, but I trust Google more than some FOSS password manager. Besides, I log into pretty much everything with my Google account anyway.

        Okay, good for you. you’re comfortable with it. I’m not. I don’t trust any company to control my access to OTHER companies. That at it’s face is a conflict of interest.

          That’s some real tinfoil hat stuff, to be honest. If Google did pull something like that, I could always just create an account the old fashioned way.

            You don’t need tinfoil to realize we live in a technology dystopia. All of our privacy and data is sold to the highest bidder. Even if it’s illegal, as long as it turns a profit higher than any sanctions.

            If you say so. I only work in IT and security.

            If Google did pull something like that

            You’d likely never know.

              I’d likely never know if Google stopped logging me into the apps I use when I get a new device?

              What?

                No. The implication of my “comfortability” with google holding my credentials is that they can use it, or leak it. You wouldn’t know that they did it. I said I don’t trust them, you said “if google did pull something”, I’m saying you wouldn’t even know if they DID pull something. They control such a vast amount of infrastructure and resources that they could do a boatload of malicious stuff and you’d never know. Hell they do some quite malicious things with AMP, ads, pushing nonstandard shit in chrome, etc… But you do you. Give them all your shit. They won’t complain. But you won’t catch me in that boat.
