But then, who cares about the ones you never use? It is theoretically possible that the password manager could be trojaned, or have a back door - but this is true with any software. With a password manager, it's slightly worse, because once the malware has captured the master password, it gets all your passwords. Without a password manager, malware can quietly sit and capture all the passwords you use. The most likely cause of a breach is getting malware on your computer. But then, your computer is a single point of failure too. It is true that the saved passwords are a single point of failure. Offline password managers carry relatively little risk. We should distinguish between offline password managers (like Password Safe) and online password managers (like LastPass).
