    Imagine trusting a 3rd party to keep every single one of your passwords. That literally defeats the purpose of using passwords if you keep them all centralized. You’re supposed to MEMORIZE your passwords. Kindergarten shit.

      I have 1400 passwords saved at the moment. You really expect me to memorize all of them?

      There’s a tradeoff between security and convenience that has to be dealt with. You’re not supposed to reuse passwords, but most sites/apps require a login. How do you memorize a couple hundred passwords? An offline vault is safer, but also a real hassle to keep synchronized between devices and locations.

      I’ve settled on memorizing passwords for financial sites and emails and storing the rest in a password manager. All I can hope is that, should a breach happen and my passwords somehow get decrypted, I’ll retain control over the most critical accounts.
