If, after the last year of hacking, and the heartbleed bug, people are not using

But those pw managers are a single point of failure. One mistake and you've

What mistake?
Having a single password for everything. Heck, you could simply forget that
password.
If your machine it is installed on is stolen, you've lost all your passwords.
Etc.
Read about LastPass. Your last-pass vault is encrypted and stored in the cloud.
Or there could be a bug in LastPass that makes it crackable. Not like something
like that has never happened before (cough, cough), again, a single point of
failure and everything is lost.
I remember a while back about someone with a Mac password vault lost his whole
online life when the vault got compromised.
