Having all of your credentials stored sounds like a detriment and a pointless amount of trust for a shady group like 1Password who conspire with literal fascists.
I literally never talked about 1password, they aren't the only password managers nor you need a password manager on the cloud (look at KeePassXC), I currently use Bitwarden because i need to be able to sync the password on multiple devices but in the light of what they are doing, I probably need to start hosting a Vaultwarden instance...
This is why I've not used one. The whole point of passwords is privacy, yet people put them all in one place controlled by someone else where you have no way to verify how secure they actually are. And you need a password to get into it, so now there's one password that could be breached to gain access to everything.
You could probably use a local password file like Keepass.
But why? The user said it was stupid to keep them all in one place controlled by somebody else, and if keepass never updates then that is its own can of worms. You would literally be better off with sticky notes than that because then at least attackers have to be present locally.
It is encrypted.
"It's fine because I store it in a safe right next to the key."
Local password managers exist too, look at KeePassXC
