I'm a developer, I have multiple environments, logins, and systems that I need to access as different users and personas. This is even more true for our testers. It's a lot easier to use a tool than typing testuser1@company.com with my arbitrary passwords every time. I'm not stating you should be saving your banking details and social media credentials in your clipboard manager, although if your copy and pasting them from elsewhere anyway, they'll be there by default!

Let's not lie to ourselves that people don't have files full of credentials lying around on their desktop 😊

It's an interesting take on data security. I don't think ditto will take your details off the system, as they're all stored locally, without any syncing capability integrated. I'm more worried about the questions I ask Google by all accounts!

Thanks for adding to the discussion
