People are...very confused if their reaction to this is "cloud password manager bad". If only well-encrypted data were leaked, it really wouldn't be a big deal.

A properly designed online password manager is an extremely safe choice.

Exactly... of the relatively tech savvy people I know who use this incident as some sort of vindication for their choice to not use a pw manager, are the same people who either store passwords in plaintext electronically, or write them down but use passwords that have a weak keyspace and are under 10 chars. I'm pretty sure I read an article from a month ago wherein 4 rtx4090s could chew through the hashes of 8 char passwords with a strong keyspace in a few days or hours.
