What's with these comments who can't possibly conceive why a certain product is popular and in use. Convenience, sharing, application integration, recovery, 2FA, passkey, SSH agent integration, the list goes on. LastPass is kind of bad considering their avoidable security snafus, but there are more reputable vendors out there.

Yes, you can roll your own, but that's not a scalable solution if you're an org or have requirements that lay outside using a Textfile.

Agreed. I've used vim for decades, and also use a password manager. I have a laptop and phone, and routinely use multiple web browsers. I want to sync encrypted passwords across devices, and auto fill in when I visit a a website... and websites infuriatingly vary.

1Password and Bitwarden help with this. Your use case might be different and that's fine.
