No, Rich.  Gordon is right.  Your argument was "thug gets bank statement, holds gun to head," and you want plausible deniability, which you lost at "thug gets bank statement."

The tiny grain of truth in your argument was that by forcing you to log into *any* password manager, they've gained access to *all* your stuff.  Which is an argument against using any password manager, or anything other than memorizing different passwords for every site you ever use.  So your argument was pretty much bunk and the grain of truth is completely impossible to ever satisfy ... except as Gordon said ... basically don't own anything.

Plausible deniability is important in some cases.  Not compatible with a password manager.
