> That's wrong, compromising one device doesn't give an attacker anything useful

Yea I understand that, but by having a large number of devices with this on it, you increase the chances that any two of them could be compromised. That was my point, I just didn't articulate it well enough.

Does anyone use a password manager for critical accounts?

I use them to generate random passwords for sites like yahoo or neopets (or whatever).

My GitHub.com password is >100 characters long and I deem it a critical account (hence the password length), so yes, I do use a password manager for it.
