I suspect any cloud service without strong encryption at rest ala Protonmail will have insider threat issues. Hell there's an entire Wikipedia article entitled "Saudi infiltration of Twitter"[1] just to give one example.
This is anecdotal, but once when I worked for a well known NGO as an experiment I created a document outlining what our positions would be for a meeting with representatives from a certain country[2].
We in fact were taking very different positions, and using different points to support those positions.
The delegation was visibly shaken, surprised, and I daresay upset that they were completely unprepared for our meeting -- they basically refused to dialogue (the entire purpose of the meeting) and ran home to ask their overlords in the embassy what to say.
I am doubtful that they deployed zero day malware onto our network -- I suspect they had an insider at company whose cloud offering I used to create the false flag document.
Sometimes it surprises me, as someone who got my education in tech by reading Slashdot comments and researching the terms I did not understand, how trusting this generation of hackers is.

What banking tasks are you doing that other apps don't seem to handle -- are you trading stocks or something?
I basically never use a banking app except to deposit a check (which all the various apps seem to handle well now) or transfer money from the checking account that receives my direct deposit to the account I use at ATMS. (Love that air gap).
I've had good experiences with KeePassXC. In addition to being able to store your passwords, it can ingest TOTP seeds. And finally, it's open source and cross platform. (I originally stumbled upon it because it was the only KeePass implementation that tried to look like a native MacOS app)
This is a killer feature for me, since apparently iOS backups do not backup your TOTP generators in Google Authenticator, which I discovered after I wiped my phone and restored it thinking I was perfectly safe doing so given I had a backup.
I now encourage all the folks I mentor to set up a KeePass vault for the TOTP seeds.
There's even an option to generate one of those fancy QR codes that apps like authenticator can use, so the two are not mutually exclusive.
If you're an individual, not an enterprise user, I don't see why anyone would pay for a password manager.
why should your opinion matter more because you're a parent? in my experience, folks with the economic comfort to create children by choice tend to be extreme machavellian and justify said machinations by the fact they must provide for the children they have thrust into an overpopulated world. as a nonparent, i'm less biased towards the natalist mindset and thus my opinion should be weighed more, not less than yours.
>invocation of free expression as the supreme unbridled right even for teenagers who wouldn’t even understand what you’re talking about
i got into policy partly by reading eff's deeplinks in my very early teens, but hey, go ahead and assume just because you were incapable of nuanced thought when you were violating COPPA to participate in public life everyone is.
