KeePass vs the Cloud: Why Centralized Password Managers Keep Failing

Cloud-based password managers are failing repeatedly, predictably, and systemically. In this video, we break down exactly why centralized vaults like LastPass, Dashlane, and Norton LifeLock continue to get breached, exposing millions of users to credential theft, surveillance, and financial loss. These are the result of flawed architecture that prioritizes convenience over security.

KeePass and KeePassXC represent a radically different model: zero cloud dependency, full local control, and open-source transparency. We’ll explore how these password managers eliminate entire attack surfaces, support hardened encryption standards like Argon2 and AES-256, and offer native integration with YubiKey, TOTP, and portable setups.

If you’re still using cloud vaults, you're handing your digital perimeter to companies that profit from your data and delay breach disclosures. This video isn't just a comparison it's a wake-up call for anyone serious about privacy, OPSEC, and long-term digital resilience.
