I don't feel safe if my passwords data is stored in the US. I prefer to use KeePass (open source) + Cloud storage from Swiss. For a long time Swiss was out of the EU-US Privacy Shield and was advised as #1 country for storing your personal data. But this January Swiss and US finalized their agreement ( http://www.alstonprivacy.com/swiss-u-s-privacy-shield-finali... ).

What do you use now then?

I already have a password manager. It's my brain.

Because I use `pass` my passwords are easily stored under revision control with git.

I wrote a simple script to show me the age of various passwords. When I realized I'd not changed some passwords for over two years I was surprised.

With your "brain" do you remember to update passwords every few years? And remember the new one easily?

Actually I was wrong about the Privacy Shield. It's actually not a bad thing. I did confuse it with The Fourteen Eyes (https://privacytoolsio.github.io/privacytools.io/#ukusa). My bad!

I still use KeePass (KeeWeb on laptop) + pCloud.
