I'll be honest, password managers are like the holy grail of desirable to breech. If you're using one it will be constantly under attack. It being breeched or vulnerable shouldn't be a surprise. There isn't really a secure way to store large amounts of passwords that doesn't have some vulnerability issues.

    That's why I liked password store, no servers, just my encrypted password files on my own computer, that I sync over to my other devices.
