There's no such thing as an impenetrable password manager. I keep my most secure passwords in my head, and so should everyone.

Even if the software were perfect, people aren't. Anyone can be fooled under the right circumstances. It's better to expose one service than all of them at once.

Your head cannot be securely backed up, and you are not resistant to major thread actors (torture, and so on)
