    And you think that your online browsing is now safer?

    What happens if someone gets a hold of your password manager login information? Wouldn't that give them access to any site whose password are you managing though this password manager? Not to mention that this password manager also hold information of which sites are you visiting which is information that they would not be able to get from you if they would managed to somehow get a hold of password for just one site that you are visiting.

    Personally I trust to only one password manager and that is my brain

    Probably a lot more than it was before since I reused a password for many sites.

    In which case I'm mostly f@!#$$% but as my email password is in my brain and not in the manager I can recover 95% of them.

    Too many sites to remember them, and too many shared passwords. Someone got ahold of my Skrill, Vimeo and Netflix accounts, and some others. There is just no way I can remember all the logins, especially business accounts which have weird access passwords.

    It's not the "be all, end all" security measure, which is why I still have 2FA for many sites, but it turned out more reliable than my brain
    Existence is pain
