This of course could happen in a company like 1Password and there is at some point that I need to make the call and trust the person(s) coding the password manager. I feel that with 1Password there's at least the large size of the company which would mean more eyeballs and accountability. There is also the history of the company at 12~ years. This includes vetting and buy in from larger companies, which inspires a vote of confidence.
FWIW Bitwarden checks off nearly all the other boxes for me and I think the single dev has done a seriously bang up job.
