Everyone talks about password managers these days, but isn't that telling the hackers exactly where to go to get all your passwords? Seems like a much higher chance of catastrophic failure to me if you have a single point of entry.
Yes that's definitely a concern to keep in mind.
The problem is that if someone doesn't use a password manager they're morenlikely to reuse weak ones.
Using a password manager is a better path, as long as there is awareness on how to keep it secured.
