The average person probably has at least a hundred different online passwords which would be virtually impossible to keep track of
without a password manager. I have never heard of a password manager being hacked into so they seem to be extremely secure.
I have been using PMs myself for over 20 years with no issues. So if they have such a stellar track record of security then why not
use a PM to store your seed phrase? Most PMs allow you to store personal notes so that is where your seed phrase would go.
Wrong, there have been a lot of Password Manager that has been hacked in the recent years.
Those are just some of the breaches from either the Password Manager themselves or 3rd party involving their project like 1Password-Okta incident. So the obvious answer is not to store your seed phrase in a Password Manager or anything that is online.
I stand corrected. But with Bitwarden the hack was not an actual hack, because the flaw was detected
by the open-source community before it could be exploited. So I don't count it as a hack.
The Lastpass and OKTA breaches involved customer names and emails according to the links you provided.
So the result being customers may have been exposed to phishing and social engineering attacks, but no passwords
or anything stored in their vaults were likely compromised by hacking.
Most password managers offer 2 factor authentication so I
would highly suggest enabling that option for anyone using one.
Again, for those who don't feel comfortable using PMs it is simply an option. For many others sticking with offline-only storage is totally fine.
