> Then keeping on top of the news for the rest of your life to see if your password manager is going down the gurgler or been hacked. Also, will my passwords be available when I travel to a country with restricted internet? Who knows. Can I export my passwords to any other password manager or a text file if I need migrate? That's part of the research needed to even get started using a password manager.

These are pretty much the exact reasons I created https://github.com/conradkleinespel/rooster. It's a simple password manager for the command line. It's offline. It's open source. It's stable. It can export passwords to plain text in different formats.

And its feature-set is intentionally limited, so I can maintain it with little work, to avoid it going down the gurgler. It's been available and maintained since 2015.
