    Here’s the thing … as crazy as a notebook with passwords sounds, it’s not accessible to someone across the internet.

      Password managers check the URL before giving its data. A human being can be fooled into giving it to a fake web site.

        TBF, they can be fooled too.

        Bitwarden warns against using autofill on load for that very reason, as then simply loading a malicious page might cause it to provide passwords to such a site.

        And then, a human when a site doesn’t autofill, is more likely to just go “huh, weird” and do it manually.

            Someone manages to maliciously sneak username and password fields onto a site that store what is entered as soon as it’s typed. They don’t even have to be visible to the user and bitwarden will fill them in as soon as the page loads.
