As far as I'm aware Moxie Marlinspike made the encryption before it was acquired by Facebook. One of the founders of WhatsApp now finances Marlinspike'd Signal messenger.

In theory Meta only sees who you communicate with, but not what you communicate.

(I wouldn't be surprised if the bastards are trying to undo the encryption if they already haven't.)

I fucking wish "apps" stopped being shorthand for software in general. Some of the most important software don't have GUIs at all (which apps tend to do).

But yeah, why have an operating system without software to operate?

Same here, KeePass with SyncThing with a weekly copy of the database-file to a VPS I rent. Besides a password the database requires a key-file, which is copied between the various devices over a USB memory stick.

Why would I keep my passwords with an external company?

But yeah, this is a somewhat tech-savvy solution.
