My bitwarden plugin locks out after a few minutes of inactivity. New installations are protected by totp. So one has to physically be at one of my devices few minutes after I leave even if they have a password. This reduces the attack source to a few people that I have to trust anyway. Also I can lock / logout manually if situation suggests. Or not log in at all and instead type the password from my phone screen.
I understand the conceptual risk of storing everything behind a single “door”. That’s not ideal. But in practice, circumstances force you to create passwords, expose passwords, reset passwords, so you cannot remember them all. You either write them down (where? how secure?) or resort to having only a few “that you usually use”.
Password managers solve the “where? how secure?” part. They don’t solve security, they help you to not do stupid things under pressure.
