rotating your master password does nothing if the vault encryption itself wasnt the issue, people are panicking for no reason

'only metadata' is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence, metadata breaches have caused real harm before

this is like the 3rd time this has happened to a major provider, maybe time to look at self hosted options

self hosting your password manager is a huge attack surface tradeoff for most people honestly

enabling 2fa everywhere you can is just good hygiene regardless of this specific breach
