      That’s the way to do it. But the reason passwords suck for laymen is because they’re lazy and irresponsible.

      Therefore, I won’t recommended them to others. Because then it’s just a matter of time before they get super pissed at you and then return to using one password for everything that’s written down on paper somewhere near their computer

      So every time you change a password or add an entry, you go to your safety deposit box?

          I don’t understand. Every time you add a site, you get a new private key that you need to backup still, no?
