Require Open Source for Password Managers

I think we could re-evaluate this once Proton Pass is out and there are multiple open-source cloud-based password managers, if Proton Pass turns out to be good.

Right now there weren’t really good options in this category other than Bitwarden, and 1Password provides advantages over Bitwarden in some respects. If Proton Pass ends up providing the same advantages then it could take its place and we could make this change, but time will tell. I’m also not thrilled with 1Password potentially adding telemetry anyways, no matter how “privacy respecting” it’s claimed to be, but that is a future change.
