Lastpass setting the delete account div to display: none
In light of this breach, can someone explain to me why it&#x27;s not stupid to keep all your passwords in one place? I&#x27;ve never used a pw manager because it seems absolutely inevitable that these sorts of leaks happen. It just seems like an incredibly put all your eggs in one basket cargo cult type move. I just can&#x27;t stomach single points of failure like that for anything worth protecting.<p>Using a password manager is one of those infosec memes that gets oft repeated but doesn&#x27;t make a lot of sense to me as being &quot;more secure&quot;. To me it seems like your passwords existing outside of your head in any way is a risk, and to have them all in one place (even encrypted) seems way worse than having to go through the reset dance every once in a while because you forgot one.<p>EDIT: I was being a bit snarky and I apologize. As some commenters have rightly pointed out for the average person this is better than the uneducated alternative of using the same PW everywhere, and as method for reducing a random person&#x27;s risk exposure it is extremely transmissible vs the alternatives.<p>That being said (as a commenter pointed out I should have included this in the post originally)  I believe there are alternatives that are <i>more</i> secure such as using a mental algorithm that generates a unique password per site. I don&#x27;t think that these sorts of things are prohibitively complicated, and I think never storing passwords outside of your head has a lot of benefits. That&#x27;s my personal approach and I think it&#x27;s a better way to go.<p>P.S. A lot of the fault lies with requiring accounts for things that don&#x27;t actually require an account. Another problem that comes out of the SaaS model which can be completely avoided by just not making SaaS.
