Password overload.

RE: Password overload.
You can always use a real easy trick like using appropriate number of letters at the beginning of the first sentence in your favorite book as your passwords, you can even use the first letters of first sentence in your favorite book as a one time pad to encrypt itself. You are no where near important enough for anyone to actually try to crack such an easily cracked cypher just to read your incriminating account information and alimony inducing communications.

Which requires password to manage your passwords.

One password to remember vs. hundreds. I'll take that trade-off.

Many of these password managers does the same thing as password managers in Apple, android, or windows OS, except to create an intimidating but false air of greatly increased security,  many password managers apps make it essentially impossible to recover the one password, or to change it, if you by chance forget it.    

So if you forget your one password on these password management apps, you permanently lose access to all passwords stored behind it unless you wrote them down somewhere else.

If there were a perfect solution, there would only be one solution. It works for me and I made a recommendation based on my opinion. Sorry if you have a problem with other people having differing opinions.

RE: Password overload.
I'm switching to a "strong password generator", password generated randomly and is never directly associated with any of my accounts. It's a horrorshow but recommended by my old friends from Langley.

This thread made me realize that there is a site that I have been going to quite regularly for 15+ years and I have never changed the password.

He who steals my password files steals trash. Seriously just turned them into high velocity confetti.
