    Congrats. You are paying attention and thinking.

    In answer, there is no such thing as 100% security. You can only use "best practices" and setup security in layers. While post-its on your monitor stops hacking over the web, it does nothing top stop your secretary/co-workers/janitors/etc from hacking your account. Moving that same post-it to your wallet adds a second layer of difficulty in getting your info. This same concept applies with physical security- there is no one perfect solution.

    Having 100s of thousands or millions of accounts for any web site means that people can do bulk hacks rather than hacking individuals- much more attractive targets. Any good password manager uses both high-end encryption and takes extreme measures to avoid having your login watched and compromised. I use two-factor authentication with mine which greatly increases hacking difficulty. Even this won't protect my info in 20 years, but I expect to have moved on to some new generation solution by then.

    Good explanation. I was gonna be an *******. But this is fine.
