    Hot take here: Password managers are a solution looking for a problem.

        And having all those eggs in one basket is a risk. What is the plan for when 1password has any issues?

            I think it is better to plan for the breach/issue/villain then to assume it will not happen. I don’t think 1password will stop a rogue employee or a protected info breach (I think everyone has had their info got by this point). I get people like these programs but I hope the same people have a backup plan.

      Not realy. The problem they solve is that people have accounts many on many websites, and the these sites need unique passwords to avoid people getting access to all your accounts when any of those sites get hacked.

      Are password managers the only solution? no.

        I just don’t like how they have been sold and marketed as THE fix for passwords. Well that and using the same password manager across devices always seemed like a vulnerability.

        To be fair it does not matter as much as people think as the chain is only as strong as the weakest link and most backend/physical infrastructure has been rotting from underdevelopment for years.
