If you are interested in privacy you are probably interested in password storage ... plus I wanted everyone to know about the inevitable future enshitification of this product. Spread the word and replacement recommendations are welcome too.

Some environments restrict USB access for security reasons.

Where are you even trying to use your password manager???? You're absolutely batshit dude. I'm not reading this wall of text.

Corporate environments don't like you tampering with how their networks are set up. You might be able to get your hands on a portable copy of your password manager or even get installation authorized, but you might not be able to force a hotspot VPN onto the machine, and you'll have a WAY harder time getting a VPN cleared than you will getting a password manager to work.

You should also not be ysing a corporate laptop for your private stuff. If you do need to use it, you can do use the password manager the old way, just read from your phone and manually type it in.

Lastly, since you're proposing a corporate scenario, you wouldn't be able to install a random program on your laptop. IT would either block the installation or you'd have to explain why you're installing random programs on your work computer.

This is getting pathetic dude, just move on.
