You probably can't trust your password manager if it's compromised

Am I the only person here that never used one just because of this? They all sounded too sus to me.
Keeping them in your head? So, your passwords must be shit, lmao.
Zero threat prioritisation.
for the average person's home pc, writing them down on a sticky note or notebook is sufficient
if someone unauthorized is physically in your house then you have bigger problems than them knowing your facebook password
And those handwritten notes are secure random passwords and never repeat?
Just too much work for the average person and too inconvenient to type.
