Creating new passwords on the spot can be really taxing. And that can also lead to some sloppy practices, like repeating old passwords or modifying them. But it turns out that does a lot more harm than good, since you’re likely generating weak, exploitable passwords as a result.

While top password managers are great for creating new, strong passwords and storing them, they aren’t perfect. For example, your password manager depends on its own primary password to safeguard all of your deposited logins, which can create a single point of failure. As a result, held passwords can be maliciously stolen, leaving all your connected accounts vulnerable.
