I agree, and I do use an open source one, but I disagree that we need to identify ourselves for everything. You can’t even look at a resturaunt menu anymore without signing up for an account. Everything is gate kept behind an account, and those accounts are all so interconnected that when one is compromised, it might for multiple and often you will never know (and I’m not talking about password reuse).
Password managers are a good solution to the problem, I’m not mad at them, I’m mad at the problem that necessitates them.
I agree that there’s too many websites that want you to make an account, and often data harvesting is the motive. What I’m saying is, even if that’s not the case, I would still need a password manager to log into various services that require auth as a core part of the service (email, banking, social media, services with my payment information, insurance, version control, anything work-related, any paid service)
