TopicI don't think I "get" password managers...

I understand that password managers are useful because you get to store all your passwords in one place, so you are then free to create more complicated passwords since you have a somewhat secure, central hub to see them. But, don't you need to create a password for the manager itself in the first place? So if someone guesses THAT password, isn't that even worse than before since now they'd have access to all your passwords at once? So instead of a manager, if you just used slight variations of the same password for every site you used (which is pretty bad to do), that still wouldn't be as bad in the event of someone getting hold of one of those passwords since there's at least a chance they wouldn't get the rest?
