If you can memorize it, that's great! Quite honestly, I wouldn't trust a service that stores the passwords on their servers at all. The only password manager I like is KeePassX and that is because the password database is locally stored on your computer and you can easily put it on a USB drive for safe/portable storage.

I introduced KeyPass to the first company I worked for.

As far as I know, they are still using it now.

This happing is no surprise at all. This type of service will always reduce your password just due to how passwords are shared across devices via an online service. These platforms are always going to be a huge target for hacking as for the hacker it is like pulling off the ultimate bank heist.
