[QUOTE="Andrew3000, post: 824277, member: 49543"] The way they work is to create the database encrypted on the local computer. This encrypted DB is synchronized between every device and cloud, so password managers can't see the contents. If you lose your master password you can't recover it, generally password manager don't know your passwords. The important thing is the master password, the stronger the risk of data theft is reduced, and obviously the 2FA activated on the account. Most password managers have a specialized team for bug and vulnerability hunting. An example was a lastpass vulnerability that was fixed in less than two days after it was discovered.
