Normally, to attack a password manager, you must have a copy of its database. With a deterministic password scheme, this is not required. This proves to be disastrous in practice for cryptocurrencies.
- jermaustin1 8y agoNo, I'm saying writing your password down in a notebook on your desk in your locked office is nearly as safe as any offline password manager. If you aren't the one under attack, and you still create different passwords for each service, the method of offline password storage (be it a spread sheet, a password manager, or a sticky note) are all similarly-ish safe.
