> But you’ll need to trust something somewhere, and you might even need to expose it to a network in some cases.

Again, no, I don't, and you still haven't explained why. Unless you mean that the big tech companies will force me to use a sync service whether I want it or not.

Moreover, you've ignored my point about paid subscriptions.



Again, may need to. It’s not a guaranteed, perhaps your situation doesn’t require this. That’s cool, but not everyone’s is yours and yours not everyone’s.

When it comes to paid subscriptions I have no issue paying for something I get a lot of value out of, but there are free alternatives that are good today as well, like Bitwarden and I know others have mentioned 100% local installations that work too. Not to mention, if you are in the Apple ecosystem, Passwords is free, it doesn’t cost anything and can take advantage of all this.

As a matter of practicality for me though I find it overall easier to use 1Password for example, but that’s just me and if someone asked I’d recommend Passwords by Apple or 1Password but again, doesn’t need to be those things
