Warning: my brother-in-law said my password strategy was 'a single point of failure'

We were talking about his new job in Phoenix, and he casually mentioned his company makes everyone use a password manager and a separate authenticator app. I've always just used a few strong, memorized passwords everywhere. He said if one of those gets compromised, I'm in trouble across multiple sites. Is it really that big of a deal to not use a manager?

Consider how often you actually change those memorized passwords.

But doesn't a password manager become its own single point of failure?
