But, since when are password managers best practice? I wouldn't want to put all my eggs in one basket...
It took me more than fifteen but less than twenty years to develop the ability to commit dozens of complex passwords to memory and change them frequently enough. I highly recommend that you develop this ability, too. Practice, practice.
While the benefits are clear, this seems a tad unreasonable to ask users to do.
My pass store currently has over 300 passwords. Some of which I've not used in ~1year. Good luck remembering that.
I'll accept these downvotes as a badge of honor!
Do password managers have a history of being cracked (via keylogger if nothing else)? Of course this used to happen to browsers (which didn't used to even have a "master password").
I've personally fallen victim to malware that would automatically extract your password from the "remember password" feature of AOL Instant Messenger. Now, I never use that feature in any application. (I also never deliberately run malware anymore, except in a clean-install.)
