Wait, Dropbox can use your files to train AI? How is this acceptable? Aren't people storing their keepass vaults there?

Password manager is one of the few "free" services that I pay for. Still feeling pretty good about 1password.

Pff, such capitalist bull. But communists at least have LastPass, that shares our passwords with the world under the banner of no private ownership.

But seriously, paying for a password manager is a good thing. Find a good and secure one that is properly vetted and trusted in the industry, and support them if you can.
