Because it's extremely funny to see how many people just create a password and then just yeet that shit straight down the memory hole and have to make a new account
Seriously. I have no idea what my password to this site is. It's just a bunch of random letters, numbers, and symbols. Whenever I get logged out I just go to the login page, tell my password manager to fill it in, and click login.
It's literally easier than trying to remember a password, and an order of magnitude more secure. That shit is literally built into your browser, or even your OS if you use Apple devices. Firefox (and Apple devices I think) even offers to generate passwords when you're signing up for shit.
If you don't wanna bother with the good shit like BitWarden because it needs an extension and an app or whatever, at least use the one built into your browser/device.
i don't trust like that!
the proper solution is to write all your passwords down on a piece of paper, put it in a box, and bury it somewhere!
I currently have mine on a tiny piece of paper in an empty deodorant stick :think-about-it:
If it's a good password manager then it would all be encrypted with a master password that you set.
As long as your master password is strong, stealing your encrypted vault gains a hacker nothing. And that's all they would be able to get.
That's honestly kind of a password manager paradox for me.
The master password should be strong, but it's also the only password you can't just get from the password manager whenever you need it. You also could need it anywhere so you can't just write it down and put it in a safe.
So you either use a memorable (and thus, relatively weak) password or you try to memorize a list of random letters, numbers, and symbols.
It's actually easier to memorize a randomly generated password than you'd expect. Initially you'll want to have it written down on a piece of paper you carry with you, but it takes less time than you might think before you no longer need that written record. My master password is a 20-character string of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, but I remember it very clearly. (It helps not to need to remember dozens of other passwords, too.)
Beyond that, password managers are just really convenient. I never have to do a "forgot password" thing on any website anymore, and the autofill functionality is really, really nice. At this point I honestly don't know how I lived without one for so long.
Beyond that, password managers are just really convenient.
Oh I definitely still use a password manager, it's just that single point of failure (the master password) is kinda insecure for me rn.
Imagine not writing all of your passwords down inside the margins of a titty mag.
