Can confirm I use this and it's super convenient to have json payloads open right up in a useful editor

base64 is far too much work. A new dev turned '"AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE"' into '"AK"
+ "IAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE"' to make the security alert go away.
Thankfully, the alert was sent to enough people it was caught by someone else, and the key was destroyed before someone outside could have fun with it.
I remember reading in jshint’s docs that they purposely did not chase this kind of lint since at that point the user is clearly fighting the library.
nice! how about something like that for drag/drop? anyone? :)

Password managers can store your passwords on the cloud as well.
True but any password manager in the cloud should require MFA, which means if you lose your devices you’re still stuck.

Maybe I am failing to grok password managers, but I can't get my head around this:
I'm traveling. My phone and laptop are lost or stolen. I am now unable to log in to anything?
You are fundamentally correct: to make your passwords safe from hackers you are making them harder for yourself to access (in this case by requiring MFA). Accessing your passwords now requires having access to a device (your second factor).
There are recovery mechanisms that you can set up ahead of time (a series of recovery codes for example), but for the most part I would agree with your premise: you will have a very hard time accessing your accounts if you ever lose your primary devices. For me the security benefit is worth the inconvenience.
