I use KeepassXC on my laptop (completely offline), export the encrypted backup copy and store the backup offline copy and in cloud. Also, I manually import the backup file into my Keepass2AndroidOffline android app (it’s a hassle, but I’m okay with it)

But for normies (non-technical folks), the benefits and convenience of using a cloud-based password manager is far outweighed by any security vulnerabilities in such password managers.

Also, Bitwarden’s source code is open-source (unlike other closed-source password managers), so I trust it more.

It’s best to use either Cloudflare (best IMO) or Anubis.

1. If you don’t want any AI bots, then you can setup Anubis (open source; requires JavaScript to be enabled by the end user): https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis

2. Cloudflare automatically setups robots.txt file to block “AI crawlers” (but you can setup to allow “AI search” for better SEO). Eg: https://blog.cloudflare.com/control-content-use-for-ai-training/#putting-up-a-guardrail-with-cloudflares-managed-robots-txt

Cloudflare also has an option of “AI labyrinth” to serve maze of fake data to AI bots who don’t respect robots.txt file.

Most people are unaware that even open source projects have licenses: Permissive license, Strong Copyleft, Weak Copyleft etc.
