Rant: Found out my "secure" password manager was storing data in plain text on my phone

So I was digging through my phone settings last night, you know, just poking around. I use this password manager from a big name company, thought it was solid. But I found a file in the app's local storage folder that had all my logins just sitting there in plain text. No encryption or anything. I saw it with my own eyes on a file explorer app. I checked three times because I didn't believe it. Turns out it was a cached backup feature they never told anyone about. Has anyone else found something like this in their apps? What do you even use that doesn't have some hidden flaw like this?

Same thing happened to me with my banking app last month.
