3. I'm also afraid that if they go broke or decide they're not in the password business anymore

and just leave people high and dry. I suppose then it's just a matter of doing the "Forgot My Password" reset thing, but still.

I've thought of using a password manager for the many many many accounts (non-financial) that aren't all that important, but still use the old-fashioned way for the really important accounts.

But even for an account that isn't important, well, still if someone got into it and therefore into my profile, they'd have my email address, and maybe, on some accounts, the answer to security questions like the name of my first pet and so on. That would be awful.
