What password manager(s) are you using?

I must say I am. I have multiple 15-22 character passwords in my head, with symbols, numbers, caps, everything..

Kinda crazy though.

Why should anyone bother to move all of the passwords from Google Password Manager to something like Bitwarden? Is it that much unsafe?

All of the articles or youtube videos on this topic do not explain anything in particular. They are just promoting their affiliate links to the paid managers.

What Google offers is just so convenient and sexy on any device, I can resist that

• There is no "automatic logout after X hours / minutes". If someone steals your laptop or phone (while you are logged in), he can log into your accounts on all websites stored in your Google Password Manager.
• Google doesn't encrypt your passwords unless you set a passphrase that they bury in settings. This means anyone who gets your Google password can see your other passwords. Not only that, anyone at Google or anyone who hacks Google can see the passwords too.
• Gmail and Youtube suffered data breaches in the past. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_data_breaches. Should you have Gmail, Youtube accounts and then Google was breached, your passwords will be stolen.
• If you use the Chrome password manager, your passwords can easily be synced to others who use the same browser. (More info on Youtube).
• And more details here on Reddit.

Thanks, that is a compelling answer I was looking for! Already started migrating to Bitwarden to try it out
