Doesn't "using a password vault" make "using secure passwords" much

Is there a good impartial (i.e. non-marketing) guide for how to select
and evaluate a password vault program/system?
If you use a vault that gets cracked, then you're in even more danger
than you are now if you use the same password on LinkedIn and your
bank. If you use the same password everywhere, the bad guy has to guess
where else you have accounts and what your login is. If your vault gets
cracked, they have everything they need to do a lot of damage quickly.
I don't feel confident enough in my own knowledge of
cryptography/security to be sure that I've made the right decision on a
vault system for myself, let alone be confident in what I'm recommending
to my users who may have different requirements than my own.
