Password managers sound like putting all your eggs in one basket.
This is why security is complicated: It's all about trading risks. Are password managers secure? Yes, unless someone gets your database and can decrypt it. Is writing the password down secure? Yes, unless someone gets physical access to your system. Is memorizing your password secure? Yes, unless someone does some lead pipe decryption on your kneecaps.
For most people, a password manager is better than paper and memorizing.
