If you are going to use a password manager you should use a open source one such as KeePassX.
I agree with this individual's input on the open source alternative. Although I'm against password managers altogether.
Why are you against password managers? What would be a con to using one? Just curious.

You trade one password for all of them.

I don't follow/understand what you mean by that. Just have a super saiyan strong password for your database and use generated passwords for everything else. I feel like that is the best security practice one can have. That is my opinion.

But what if someone goes through that protection?
Then you're fucked.

Nice guide, it's similar to my Paranoia one, just with a different structure and a less crazy approach to everything

Yes, there is always a risk. If you use a 30+ alphanumeric password then the attacker will have one hell of a time trying to brute the master password. It would take a lifetime and a GPU farm to brute a password that complex. Another method would be using a plain text file w/encryption such as gpg/pgp. I think both would be equally safe. Again, that's just my opinion. I guess everyone has their own preference.

Sorta. I use key file+password. Key file stays on my USB on my keys.
How ever I think that common sense is still needed when using them. I don't store email logins on there, junk/throw away ones sure, but not accounts to do with money or monetary gain of any sort. I think opsec within password managers is key.
