  A-fucking-men… but I was always given shit for saying this.

  Anything can be hacked or stolen, I don’t trust any company to secure my information. :/

    I keep thinking of the people who make their passwords garbled random text impossible to memorize but then they trust an online service to keep it safe and private. When breaches happen, maybe even a post-it note at home would have been more secure.

        Unique passwords for every single account is an over-abundance of caution. Sensitive accounts: financials, medical, email, yes those should all be insulated from single-source failures. Your xbox live, netflix, and instagram are probably fine as a universal “entertainment” password.

  Except you’re giving your passwords in an encrypted format. So if the company is trustworthy, it’s safe to let them store your passwords because it’s encrypted in such a way that even the company who own the password manager couldn’t access your passwords even if they wanted to.

  (Note the caveat of “IF the company is trustworthy”, which rules out Lastpass)

  Now there are legitimate arguments against storing passwords in the cloud via a password manager… so in that case, you may wish to use a local password manager (like Keepass) instead.

  I vote for you to be chair person of the board for common sense.
