I feel like as time goes on, more and more people are moving to password managers so they can use a different, and much more secure password for each account. I know when I used to see ads for password managers back in like 2018 I thought no way I'd ever use a password manager as it seemed like a great inconvenience.
I tried out Bitwarden in 2021 because I found my info in a couple data breaches (gov. sites where you could look yourself up to see if you were affected)
It was a hassle at first to change the info for all of my important accounts, then I just kept changing the less important ones as I needed to sign into them, after 6 months I had no use for the dozens of passwords and combinations that I had stored in my head. It was relieving. And now, my phone can even autofill from Bitwarden just like Apple keychain.
Heck, even my mom is on the password manager wave now after having her... yahoo account hacked.

>but having ads that are tailored to my needs and desires is just too high a price to pay!
Having your stuff on one device isn't the price you pay. Forfeiting your privacy and allowing google to know everything that you do is.
