  I do. The damn bank website gave me “you can’t reuse passwords try again” on something the password manager generated for me on the first attempt at entering a password, and then the account froze and the bank manager had to unfreeze the account (the teller helping me couldn’t manage to unfreeze it for reasons neither of us understood). I think i have a hell of a knack for breaking computers if that’s a job.

    Breaking computers is a job. It’s called software QA

  How to enter windows login password using password manager 😠

    Install the password manager on your phone and view it on your phone. Then copy your randomly generated gibberish password with 700 characters by hand :^)

      Yeah, this is the struggle. Ideally passwordless smart card login becomes more common.

        I used a randomly generated password as a child. I copied it by hand so many times I memorized it. I still use that password today for something.

      The serious answer tho is I just use a password I remember for my computer. I use a phrase so it’s easier to remember. It’s still way easier to remember 2 passwords vs like 20. Password managers also just make it more secure because it makes it super easy to use super strong unique passwords for each service.

    With a USB barcode scanner and store a barcode/QR code in your password manager on your phone.

  I use a password manager and have still had that happen.

  Pasted from manager, incorrect. Ok, maybe I saved the wrong one… change password, use one saved because I’m too lazy to generate a new one - can’t be same as current. 😑 Fuck you, shit-ass Best Buy website.

    This just sounds like user error to me. Click the correct copy button and it should work.

  It’s the single biggest quality of life improvement I’ve made in the last 3 years. I wish I had done it sooner (and if anyone reading hasn’t got one yet, Bitwarden is FOSS and can be selfhosted.)

  I actually found it quite fun to go through all my logins and change any shitty passwords, adding them to the password manager as I went. It’s a great quest for when you want to procrastinate from doing something important by doing something that feels productive.
