  Wait you guys actually still aren’t using password managers? I thought it was a joke…

    The fact that modern life basically requires a third party app to prevent instant identity theft and fraud is a real problem.

    The real problem is that every fucking service in the world is just there to scrape data. I don’t need to logon and provide my every detail to check the local weather, I shouldn’t have to give my social security number to play video games…

      In a way, password managers are kinda the solution that prevent you from needing to involve a third party in your auth. You can even use completely open source software, and manage all the data yourself. That gives you way more control than say, oauth. Although sure, passkeys are better in many ways.

      Even if we lived in a world where surveillance capitalism and personal data harvesting wasn’t a thing, you still need to identify yourself.

      It’s many times more secure than any system you’ve developed

      There are also open source, locally installed password managers.

  Use bitwarden or keepassxc or write them down

  …or delete the accounts

    Seconding the recommendation for Bitwarden.

    Starting using a password manager is one of the single most powerful improvements to my life in a long time.

    You know the phenomenon where you try to log into a website you rarely use, but your regular password doesn’t work, meaning you have to reset it — only to discover that your regular password didn’t work because the website has weirdly specific and persnickety password requirements (bonus points if you modify your usual password to fit their requirements and then the system says you can’t reuse an older password)? Well I haven’t had to deal with that problem in years.

    Being able to avoid that kind of thing saves a surprising amount of executive function energy in the long term. If I stongly encourage you try one out

  I only have like 2-4 password I can remember, and one of them is a 60+ char string that pritects all of my random passwords

  Whatever your password is plus the day it is, or the month, or both, you can also include the year.

    And this is one of a few reasons that frequent password changes aren’t very helpful in increasing security over the difficulty it adds to the end users.

      Yup, I have been preaching that in all the companies I worked for but then again you can’t also trust people to have a strong password anyway.
