Given the possibility of software failure, would it be wise to use multiple password managers? I have the feeling this is a .45 vs 9mm question that doesn't have a real answer. More software exposes risk of data being exposed vs redundancy. I do not use software managers. I use a password protected spreadsheet(100 passwords). I hope they are safely encrypted.

A seccond PW manager? Not necessary, an offline backup? Great idea. Most PW managers allow you to export in some way shape or form. Doing so and encrypting said file is a great idea, but also something that's hard to do enough for most people that I don't have a good solution.
