Maybe it's snooty holier-than-thou posts by users of password managers, lacking in substance or any real argument, that lets the majority of password users remain unconvinced.

Password managers make me nervous for two reasons: (1) if someone breaches the password manager, they have all your passwords, rather than one, and (2) you have to trust the source of the password manager that it doesn't have an intentional backdoor - even if it was trustworthy, every update is the potential for a new problem.

Also, in my experience, you're not allowed to use one at work, so what do you think people do?
