Your password will never be secure when you store it on someone else his disk or let someone else encrypt your password. Its not a matter of how, but when there will be a way to retreive those passwords by anything but you.

And its not just that, everything you use your passwords for these days, is stored on some sort of storage in a cloudy architecture. Scattered all over the world in thousands of datacenters. You probably are currently trusting thousands of people working over there, but you dont even know these guys. Terrible imho..

What do you mean?

This solution does not store passwords at all, if I understand it correctly.

So whining about storing them on "someone else disk" is a bit odd, don't you think?

In the overview, it says on cloud or local. Which made me think, why would you even suggest storing this on a cloudy device when your offering a password manager.

Where? I don't see "cloud" anywhere on that page..?

Why would offering cloud storage as an option be a problem if you don't use it?

Some people value usability over absolute security.

You are right. Only after having reviewed the code for the OS (and before that reverse - engineered the BIOS firmware), recompiled it yourself and then reviewed & recompiled keepass can you state that you are safe. This is the recommended way to go for the standard user to have his passwords safely stored.

The alternative to trust a well - established company with your Tinder or gmail password is unthinkable.
