(I do indeed use a password manager especially for online services, but for some things [like the PM itself] you can’t rely on it and need to remember a few, and a scheme helps for that. I also bet $10 you can’t guess one of my schemed passwords. To be fair, the way I do it it’d still be really hard to figure out the others even if you knew the system, which I will not reveal. I’d be impressed if you even guessed the system.)
I could upgrade it though, still. New system: book cypher.
To wrap it all together, password managers do have inherent flaws, but it’s better than all alternatives for passwords so far. The real argument is that passwords in general are a shitty authentication scheme.
Using a password manager is not optional. Schemes are to easy to figure out and/or brute force.
Figure out mine then, right now.
