You'll still have your e-mail address exposed, which you may not want if it is to some random porn site. Moreover, password managers do not work if you use multiple devices for log in, which most people actually do.

I use my password manager across multiple devices daily.

Apparently it has not been working without me noticing it?

I assume they're thinking about the 'offline' style where one would shuffle a database file and probably resolve conflicts. There's an app/extensions nowadays, man!

I don't even bother with a VPN, just occasionally push a 'sync' button on the roaming devices [when they return to LAN]. DB transactions [new credentials] averages ~0 per month... but there's plenty of capacity. Works extremely well.

... And how do you access the passwords that password manager manages?

If you decide to visit such awful sites then the least you could do is not use primary email for this.

I don't think it makes sense to even have a "primary email". I've completely separated work, shopping, banking, gaming etc mailboxes.

Also how do password managers not work? Bitwarden syncs instantly across devices just fine.

If you sign in with Google, the site knows your gmail address.
