Authy is lovely in that it just works, but it is hellacious to migrate off of if you change your mind.

I also don’t love that Authy is owned by Twilio, a communications/marketing service company.

A password manager can be considered critical infrastructure; beyond privacy and uptime/access considerations, you should also consider what happens if you lose all of your data - Do you have backups? Are the backups 3-2-1 redundant? Do you have a ready-to-go docker compose to get yourself up and running locally in a pinch?

I self-hosted bitwarden (vaultwarden) for several years and it became evident to me that it was important enough to use the hosted service - especially as I was already paying Bitwarden to support their open source business.

That’s fair; I guess it depends on what your threat model is — kind of like how using a vpn can just expose you to your vpn service while ostensibly protecting you from your service provider.

To me, the improved search results from kagi and the disconnect between search and ad-and-tracking companies are worth it. But that may not be a fit for anyone else.

I strongly advocate for Kagi. Yes, it’s paid search, but it means that there is no tracking or ad revenue concerns obfuscating the search results.

It's not just every tech company, it's every company. And it's terrifying - it's like giving people who don't know how to ride a bike a 1000hp motorcycle! The industry does not have guardrails in place and the public consciousness "chatGPT can do it" without any thought to checking the output is horrifying.
