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?
-
Bitwarden PINs can be brute-forced
Note the KeePass's resistance to the attack mentioned depends on the security of .NET's secure string, which, here's what Microsoft has to say about it (https://github.com/dotnet/platform-compat/blob/master/docs/D...)
As for KeePassXC, last I checked it didn't even bother.

- How to deal with credentials in automated scripts?

pfSense configuration backup
And if you really want to be secure you need to something better than a SecureString: https://github.com/dotnet/platform-compat/blob/master/docs/DE0001.md
