It's like people way to into conspiracy theories. They want to seem smart. I never don't have my phone. I've been aggressively using a password manager for nearly s decade and it's never once been an issue.

I dropped my phone at night in a foreign country and the screen went blank. I couldn't get into anything, not even my hotel.

Yeah, I amended my thoughts reading the thread. I left out a pretty important detail. I do have one, other, high entropy password that is memorized for my Google account. I don't use social login, but Google = Gmail = everything.

So yes, I was too dismissive. Given the nature of "security", I think it's impossible to have a silver bullet of secure + easy.
