> It’s completely valid to distrust password managers.

Is it, really? And at the same time to trust one's memory? For memorizing hundreds of long passwords? Don't think so...

Distrusting password managers does not implicitly trust your own memory.

There are alternatives to programmatic password managers or human memory, e.g. a paper notebook and a safe. That's not an approach I would personally take, but I imagine it's a reasonable option for someone who sees the potential danger of trusting any program for sensitive data.
