[ELI5] Why are online “password lockers” considered secure?

1.97K views

It seems to me (hence this question), that storing all your passwords online and accessing them with a single “unlock” password would be extremely dangerous. If the locker service is itself hacked, then the hackers will have ALL your passwords for the price of getting one password.

Another supposed advantage of using password managers is that you don’t have to type your password into web pages (you can copy & paste from the password manager), which reduces your exposure to key loggers. Of course then the password is exposed on your clipboard, but most have a function to clear the clipboard after X seconds.
