Many advanced users use password managers, for me it's a one point of failure and I don't think you should have your passwords stored on an online machine even if well encrypted because malware can easily get your main password for this managers with a simple keylogger or with more advanced techniques for the inputs that are meant to combat keyloggers like random virtual keyboard etc.

Modern password managers use the same level cryptography as bitcoin.  You share equal risk keeping your wallet.dat on an online machine.  :/

I am storing my passwords on an encrypted drive that is never connected to a machine that goes online, I use dedicated old laptop that will never see Internet for accessing it.
So when I forget any of my passwords, I can look it up on this encrypted drive, that's 1 password you have to remember as I find writing down passwords a very bad practice.

Your encrypted drive can be stolen or destroyed.
