More analyticalally: the probability_of_an_account_getting_hacked times damage is constant. More unrelated accounts you have, hack more probable, less damage on a single hack. With one password manager account, everything you have is at stake.
There is no way around it. You can't manage this risk.
- UncleMeat 3y agoYou are not the only one that sees this. Everybody sees this. But we can compare things. People who don't use a password manager observably reuse passwords and use weak passwords. In huge quantity. People who use passwords managers do not reuse passwords or use weak passwords at anything resembling this scale. Thefts of password vaults appear to be rare and it is much much easier to train people to use one good password for their vault, meaning that even with something like the LastPass breach, many people can be will protected. Yes, if you are a unicorn and can happily generate and recall 100+ strong and unique passwords for your various services then a password manager reduces your security posture. But almost nobody does this. Password managers also provide some small resistance to phishing, since they can help you notice a page that doesn't match the origin used to register a password.
