    That’s…not a counterpoint.

    You can have strong authentication on your central password manager, and have an encrypted container protecting it.

    There is no logical argument against password vaults as a concept. There are bad implementations of specific password vaults, but a password vault is the answer for the highest possible password based security available in 2023.

      And figuring out which password managers to use is not a task which a lot of people know where to start, and it is STILL a single point of failure

      What makes it completely unusable for me is that I don’t have a single work computer I use. I have to bounce around computers at work, my personal phone, computer, work iPad, etc.

      I have no idea about how to protect a password manager with an encrypted container.

      And to be honest with you, it’s not something I’m likely to do even if you do attempt to explain the 60 minute long $10 18-step process to me. Or however long it takes and whatever it costs.

      And really, for all my ignorant ass knows you could’ve just as well been encouraging me to get malware and I’d be none the wiser.
