And really, none of them are perfect.
A big thing is that they all do really the same thing and it is a pain in the ass to transfer everything to a different password manager.
I can (and do) remember plenty of complex passwords, but ultimately there's just too many to remember sinceI don't use the same password in multiple places.. there's websites, email accounts,web/vps servers, ftp servers, sql databases, wifi networks, routers, devices, game accounts, operating systems, voicemail accounts, pin numbers, public/private keys, the usernames/logins/emails to go along with those passwords, etc. etc.. Previously I used a book where I wrote down partial/cryptic passwords (enough that I could figure out what they were, but not enough that anyone else could do anything with it... they'd be lucky to even figure out what sites they were for, since I didn't write that down fully either)... it got to the point that it took me 5 minutes to even find the page I was looking for sober.
I've got about 200+ passwords in LastPass atm, but a lot of the sysadmin-type stuff like sql database passwords I still use a book.
I don't store banking passwords or anything like that of course, and tend to use 2FA when it's available, so I suppose it wouldn't be the end of the world if something did end up happening... *knock on wood*
