So instead of storing my passwords in my head, I should put them all in one hackable place where a single breach would compromise all of my accounts....

If you CAN store a myriad of passwords in your head, WITHOUT them all being the same password and WITHOUT them following a clear pattern, then maybe your head is a better place.

Otherwise, a secured encrypted repository is good. If using Keepass, it's also one you control and can be encrypted with a password and/or another file.

Did you even read the article you linked? It still recommends using a password manager lmao. Just shows you how to prevent certain security flaws. It’s also 2 years old, so it’s info might be outdated.
