@social @nixCraft Calm down, you're looking at a logic problem emotionally, not logically. Yes, I did say that password managers are worse. Someone has to gain physical access to a piece of paper for something you've written down. Password managers can be accessed online. Not necessarily all leaked even. Sometimes other exploits lead to accessing them (an issue sometimes with mobile devices in particular.) Often enough their encryption is necessarily weak anyway.
@social @nixCraft I think you're imagining the sort of environment where the current password system was originally created from -- eg a high confidential work area where people must even protect their work from other workers there (potential spies!) Hard for users to know passwords stored in ultra-secure mechanisms (even memorized) made sense there. It doesn't work in the modern day where your biggest threat is some script kiddie in Russia rather than your next door neighbor.
