> Should I not be allowed to use a password manager because it would be problematic if my roommate or one night stand copied it?
You are free to use or not a password manager. What ms is doing is shoving things by force. It's not an opt in feature, their OS is becoming something ugly fast
This just pushes the question, what else should be opt-in because it could be abused by someone given full access to your laptop? Saving browser history? Persistent logins? Shell history? Document recovery? Spotify listening history?
This is why Windows has the "airtight hatchway" beyond which security against the user accessing their own data stops applying. Inside your login is by construction where your private data goes. Adding more of it shouldn't matter as it's all protected as the same. Like I agree that this feature is annoying but it's not a security risk, Windows promises no security against yourself.
