It's the same as the nude photos hacked on the cloud. Are they any safer on someone else's server than your home computer - which is turned off most of the time anyhow? Of course, not taking nude photos and putting them ANYWHERE that isn't encrypted is perhaps a more sensible idea or even... not taking them at all.

My advice: unless there is an essential, functional reason that is much more serious than personal convenience to put something there, don't. You're only asking for trouble. In the case of passwords: Do you really think it's safer to keep your passwords on somebody's server that is potentially connected to every person who has access to a computer on the internet, than to just keep them on a piece of paper folded up in your wallet? Wallets are "portable" too. When are people going to stop this magical thinking about computers?
