Objections
Acronym PMS is confusing or offensive (pre-menstrual syndrome)
From 3 comments

aftergibson on HNPMS is, to me, pre-menstrual syndrome. The acronym choice was probably not the best.
camillomiller on HNThe feeling I get from this page is that the branding seems a bit all over the place. The acronym "pms" just reminds me of "pre menstrual syndrome", and "personal management…

Bitwarden

I like that it stores passwords. I don't think it's an especially good idea to use a simple piece of software like this, but I don't think it's a good idea to use some popular…
