Appreciate your perspective thanks for sharing.

Do you mean 2nd party? If not, what is the 3rd party in this situation?

If you do mean 2nd party - you should have a read through this thread, tonnes of benefit to buying these services.

But do you do any of this with what you “know”? Or do you choose to believe it because it is known?

Well partly yes. This is a self hosted community so I asked a self hosted question.

The other part (I.e. why I haven’t asked anywhere about hardware solutions) is because I am not aware of a hardware solution that could do what a software solution can do: that is, store all my passwords, credit card details, OTP codes etc and work with any service that requires a password.

If you know of a hardware solution that does the same then by all means share! I am open to alternative ideas as well.

Appreciate the input - that’s exactly where my heads at right now. Didn’t expect so many answers - really glad I asked, been very interesting reading different folks views on this.

What do you mean?

Thanks, I did consider the syncing would be fine. But if the reason to do it is just hobbying then I’ll pass, I have too many hobbies at this point and managing what I’m already hosting is giving me enough of a scratch for that itch
