Extensive thread covering all sides here:

How Safe are Password Manager Sites
I have my passwords on a libre-office file, on a thumb drive. I let google remember my passwords on my desktop computer, and I let it remember my google accounts on all my devices (I have to, since my phone is an android and so is my tablet). I don't keep my passwords "in the cloud" and I don't use a password encryption program. My methodology for creating passwords changes with my moods, so it's inconsistent. And that means it's "that much harder" for people to hack.
