I believe the most popular password managers have been cracked already, that is why I did a LOT of research and built my own.

It was not easy, but it was fun, and if anyone wants to decrypt my files they have a lot of difficult hurdles to jump through.

Of course, keylogging is easier, but then they still have to run my software or at least seriously read the source code.

I don't believe GPG has been cracked. Also, running your own crypto is in 99.9% of cases a terrible idea.

Why do you think they say that? Because they really want to help you? You believe that crap if you want, I'll do my own research. SOMEONE has to write it, otherwise where does it come from?
