Storing secrets in a specialized manager with a dedicated key provides an extra layer of encryption outside the main credential. Reusing the same codes allows intruders to exploit one compromise across multiple repositories. Memorizing every set of codes often encourages weaker choices, and placing them in a shared file with limited protections raises the risk of exposure.
