tl;dr “If you want to use an online password manager, I would recommend using the one already built into your browser. They provide the same functionality, and can sidestep these fundamental problems with extensions.”

I can only speak for myself but his article confirmed my suspicion about any Password Manager, even Bitwarden and I never have or will use any online Password Managers. I create all my Passwords individually with my own algorithm in my head and can always recreate them.

    Ya the conclusion is very clear

    Conclusion If you want to use an online password manager, I would recommend using the one already built into your browser. They provide the same functionality, and can sidestep these fundamental problems with extensions.

    I use Chrome, but the other major browsers like Edge or Firefox are fine too. They can isolate their trusted UI from websites, they don’t break the sandbox security model, they have world-class security teams, and they couldn’t be easier to use.

    Also there are studies showing how bad mental formula passwords are, while computers are not truly random, humans are even worse.
