Password Manager OneLogin Hacked- Do you use password managers?

Quote:

OneLogin has suffered a serious security breach, with hackers possibly also acquiring the ability to unlock encrypted files that they were able to steal. The password manager and single sign-on provider has now urged users to change their passwords, while the extent of the damage caused by the hack remains unclear. In an official blog post, OneLogin chief information security officer Alvaro Hoyos detailed the security breach suffered by the company.

I don't use password managers. My reason is simple, they are a single point of failure. Hackers go for large payloads of information. Not always millions. Small businesses are increasing the targets. Unless you're being targeted specifically, they generally want to get a decent payload...hundreds, thousand, millions of accounts at once.

So to me...much like in a zombie apocalypse...anywhere where thousands or millions of other people are (zombie bait), I don't want to be. Maybe my logic is flawed, but since the tech is so new, and the jury still out I've refrained from using them and creating an account that I will never know for sure has ever been deleted.

Just wondering how people feel about them and dos this recent hack shake your faith in how safe they are?
