> a password manager that leaks out tens of millions of accounts and passwords
While I agree that this would be a security disaster, its not a whole lot different then someone using the same credentials for all their accounts. Also, one of the great benefits of a password manager is that they remove a very high mental cost of passwords. Before I used a password manager, although I knew it was good practice to change passwords, I wasn't willing to invest that effort into it. The cost of good random passwords was too high. Today, if my password manager was hacked, it would suck going through all my accounts and changing all the passwords - it would take a lot of physical time, but there would be no long-term fallout and mental effort involved for me. I'm not attached to those passwords - I don't even know them.
