KeePass flaw allows retrieval of master password
DotNet offers the SecureString class to keep a string encrypted in Memory, but as long as the OS does not natively support this concept, the only advantage is that it resides in memory for a shorter time, the disadvantage is that SecureStrings are easier to search for.
- System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient is not recommended anymore; what is the alternative?

As for KeePassXC, last I checked it didn't even bother.

Disabilities and Windows Passwords
