How do you manage your credentials then? Before using a password manager, the best thing I could manage was variations on a similar password. But sites with arcane password requirements tend to break this.
I was _really_ disappointed when 1password dropped support for Dropbox sync and pushed everyone onto their storage. I'm uncomfortable, like you, with the truly single point of failure this way: I would much rather diffuse the storage and master credentials to separate parties.
- stelonix 5y agoI do like you said, small variations. Things get difficult once there are bizarre requirements, but then I just login by "forgot my password". Another commenter replied (s)he has over 400 credentials; I don't think I have even 100 let alone 400 logins.

- dahart 5y agoWhy is that the real question? The advantage of a password manager is you can default to max security with no more effort than poor security. Many of my accounts have changed over time, it’s not uncommon to add payment to a trial account, or for personal information to accumulate. There are plenty of good reasons to always use maximum security in order to lower your risk and prevent future accidents.
