That pretty much requires you to use something like 1password which if hacked (your error or theirs (who knows how good some random companies security is)) then you are completely screwed as all of your accounts are now compromised. To make matters worse, you don't know any of your passwords so you cannot even log onto any of your accounts to change them (this is also a big problem if you have a customer service problem as it will lock you out of all your accounts).
I'm not a security engineer but this sets off all of my internal alarm bells when my entire identity relies on the security of 1 unrelated company that I pay a few bucks a month for.

For most people, their entire identity relies on the security of their email address plus some information they shared on Facebook.
