I guess the point is that the 1400-strong pw manager is the antithesis of defence in depth. If you get malware'd, better that they nab a few passwords than /all/ of the passwords.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoHaving unique passwords for every service, all of which are stored entirely in your brain, is almost certainly more secure than a password manager. However, I'm inclined to believe this is virtually impossible, for all but a handful of exceptionally talented individuals. So if realistic options are (A) access all services via one password which is only stored in your password manager, or (B) access all services via one password, which is also given out to every single service, I think it's clear which is safer.
- clarry 7y agoOf course there are more options than that. Pen and paper works well for the more important stuff, while you can come up with passwords that are easier to remember for all the silly online services that demand a login but don't really matter if they get compromised.
