> I, personally, think that password managers contradict the idea of passwords. A password is something that YOU know. You and nobody else. Ideally not even the system you access. That's the theory of passwords, but it has been demonstrated that most people simply can't manage their passwords. I have about 600 passwords stored in my password manager. Without a password manager, I'd have to reuse passwords (either partially or fully) to manage all of that. A much better option is to get my password manager to generate a random password for each of those sites. My Hacker News password, for example, is 60 characters long and contains upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.
