How many passwords do you actually remember? 10, maybe 20? What do you do for everything else?
In my password vault I have over 500 logins, each with unique password. Unless you are reusing passwords it doesn't seem feasible to have a unique password for each site (or you have a much better memory than me :D).
In terms of your fears, I remember unique passwords that aren't stored in the vault for things like my main email account and banks. Everything else goes in the vault - if it gets lost, at worse I can reset the password via email, and if it gets stolen at worse they get access to my Spotify account.
