F. Scott Fitzgerald's test of top-tier intelligence -
> Holding two opposing views in the mind means accepting two contradictory ideas at the same time without needing to pick one side or rush to a simple answer
I continue to use Apple products because they are top class even though everytime I think of Tim Cook in the Oval Office presenting the gold plaque to the current president, it makes me wanna puke. World isnt black or white.
The reason I mentioned it is because Google seems to have a strange aversion to E2EE. Apple has added the option to iCloud but Google only has one consumer facing E2EE producted, Google messages. A password manager is the most obviously important place to use it. I can't name another password manager that isn't.
How do you make e2e password management work on multiple devices as convenient as not? You cannot.
Most people who use Google trust them. And if you do not trust them then why are you using their password manager? You see? Hence why they do not bother.
Of course one might read this and say, multi device e2ee is possible! Sure, but can you allow for recovery when people inevitably lose their recovery codes at scale? If you really care about this it is not necessary to go with Google.

If you think about it for a moment you will realize the average user does not want that.
yes, lastpass get $ tens millions because its weak and gets hacked not because its realiable, secure and great.
I suspect that your one moment of thought follows many years of contemplation. Maybe you can fill us in on some of that background.
E2E encryption means that if the user loses the keys, there is no way to recover that even if they contact support and prove the data belongs to them.

I stand by my original comment:
