My neighbor in Cincinnati said 'a password manager is just a single point of failure' and it stuck with me.
He argued that writing them down in a locked drawer is safer, but I've always trusted my encrypted vault, so which side are you on?

Eric's got the right idea. A sticky note is a single point of failure anyone in your house can see. A good password manager uses strong encryption that would take centuries to crack. The real risk is forgetting one master password, which is why a backup of that in a safe place is smart. Your neighbor's locked drawer just trades a digital safe for a physical one you could lose in a fire.

Prefer my password manager to a sticky note any day.

Yeah, the single point of failure thing is real. My buddy lost his sticky note in a move and had to reset like twenty accounts at once.
