Why is Cloudflare monitoring/recording our passwords on the sites they are supposed to be protecting?
Because Cloudflare users enable the feature?
It's literally opt-in.
While I understand that password reuse is a problem I also understand that remembering 50+ passwords, because literally everything requires you to make an account, is impossible. And some of these password managers seem shady themselves. And if said manager needs a password that means someone only needs the one password which puts us back at square one.
These days I've resorted to physically writing my passwords down because I straight up don't trust anything that connects to the internet anymore for this kind of information. Like some lame puzzle in a video game where you have to look around the room for the password. But it still feels safer than anything that's connected to the internet.
How about KeePass then? It's an encrypted local database file you can sync/backup how and where you want. There are clients to open/edit it for Android, Linux and even Windows. The Android version can use fingerprint, if your phone has this hardware.
This feels a little too tinfoil-hat for me. The reality is that one strong password is going to be more secure than 50 weak passwords. If you use something like a passphrase with 30+ characters, cracking it with today’s methods will take longer than the heat death of the universe. Yes, it means all of your eggs are in one basket. But that’s why it’s important that basket is protected like Fort Knox.

Nah a lot of those services are ripe for abuse... The correct answer is to just use your own... keepass for "offline" on a USB stick type of thing... or host your own vaultwarden.
