As a regular user of a password manager, my main problem with them is that its just another dependency, and quite an important one, in the chain. If my password manager service goes down, I'm buggered. Of course you could use a paper password manager, but again you could lose that, and also it just gets exponentially more difficult to manage as you add more passwords and get more complex, and most people will eventually start simplifying/reusing their passwords until theres no point in having the manager
I've found passphrases a good middle ground, but truthfully theres again a limit to how many you could remember reliably, causing again reuse. Hence why I'm still using a password manager, it's just not ideal I suppose.

- blitzar 5y agoI keep an offline copy in my safe.
- bodge5000 5y agoYeh thats true, I did think about offline vaults after making this comment but I feel theres still a dependency somewhere. I guess even if you have offline storage, you still need a way to get that onto other devices. I guess you'd just sign up for a new service.
