I use 1password, and I have always had a mild distaste for its 'vaults' UX. I live with it though, and since I'm only creating logins every once in a while I just leave it be, and shake my head every time do use it. On the whole, the service could be better, but for the price it's not too bad :)

The multiple vaults are extremely useful to me since I only have to sync my work passwords with my work computer, not my entire password collection. There’s no reason for my HN, Reddit, TeslaFi or PlugShare account details to be on the work computer regardless how supposedly secure 1Password might be (I don’t own the hardware and I know it has surveillance software installed).

Tangentially, I seem to recall recently (2020 sometime) where someone made custom firmware for a laptop's wifi card that, since the computer was set up with a central hub for most of its peripherals, could sniff data flowing from things like USB stuff and, more interestingly, its keyboard.

It ended up as an extremely elegant keylogger. Cool stuff.
