I'm just going to leave this here in case people still think this guy has anybody's best interests in mind. Is it true? Is if fake? Make your own conclusions.
> Why would anyone want a cloud based, proprietary, non-free, non-oss password manager is what I really want to know.
Former reputation and inertia. I use it, and when I started it seemed to have the best reputation for ease of use. I also recall that its security model was publicly endorsed by quite a few people who looked at it closely. I only use it for "less important" sites, which basically means everything that isn't a primary email account or an investment website. For those, I use 2FA whenever possible and memorize random passwords [1].
I've been interested in switching since LastPass was bought by LogMeIn, but it's never been a high enough priority for me to actually spend the time to search for another tool.
[1] when memorization gets to be too much, I split the passwords in half: a common half I memorize, and a unique half I write down on paper.
Firefox Lockwise is very new and quite frankly doesn't have very many features that people require such as import, export, etc. At this point I don't even know how to get all my password manager passwords into Lockwise even from a simple comma delimited file.
Right now, it's still impossible to switch to it for a lot of people.
> One committed suicide by starving themselves to death
Don't mean to sound insensitive, but how exactly does one starve one self to death? Did this person had no visits, no family and nobody around watching as this happened? It's not exactly a quick or painless death right?
