I called password managers a scam for 3 years, then someone got into my Steam account from Kyiv
Spent 6 hours locked out of everything because I reused the same password on 11 sites, and the only reason it wasn't worse is I had 2FA on my bank. Anyone got a manager they actually trust on a phone, or do you just write stuff down like my dad does?

So what happens when your password manager gets hacked and now every single account you own is behind one door? You think LastPass users felt smart when their vaults got swiped in 2022? The whole reason your Steam got hit is that one site leaked, and with a manager you are just betting everything on one company not screwing up, which is a wild bet when you look at how often these companies get breached. Your dad writing stuff in a notebook in his desk drawer is honestly more secure from some hacker in Kyiv than a cloud service, since nobody is breaking into his house from 5,000 miles away. Reusing passwords is dumb, sure, but putting your entire digital life in one basket you don't control is not the big brain move people act like it is, and 2FA is what actually saved your bank, not some app.
