I already use a password manager. I use 'pass'. Most my keys are generated with `pwgen -s` (for some reason I prefer it to pass own generator). All told, I have 83 password file entries in .password-store/. But these are non essential passwords. Forums, internet services, etc. You must understand, I use old systems that I maintain for 10 years or more. Despite backups there is always the fear that I might one day lose this central password storage. So essential passwords are created differently; GnuPG keys, my 2 main email addresses, system boot, banking, taxes website, CC pin,... this world is not an easy place to live in. They do too have their entries on the password store, of course. But they must be committed to memory too. As such, for these type of passwords, you understand that a password manager acts simply as an unreliable backup store and not and not as a management tool. -- Sinceramente / Best regards, Mário J.G.P.
