    Right, so everyone should just do without synchronization to mobile devices or set up their own Bitwarden. That sounds like a solution for the masses.

      If you are using a browser with password sync, you have the same possible data leakage problem as with a password manager.

      If you aren’t using a browser with sync, then you… have no sync.

      So you get five options, all with some downsides

      Browser:

      • no sync to other devices

      Browser (with sync):

      • possible data leakage

      Password manager (in cloud):

      • possible data leakage

      Password manager (KeePassXC with no sync):

      • no sync to other devices

      Selfhosted password manager:

      • more difficult to set up
