Maybe 5 or 10 years ago, but who doesn't use a password manager these days? They generate random passwords and remember them for you

    Do you know any non tech people, especially over 40? Literally none of them uses a password manager.

    My current employer will not authorize the use of a password manager. I have a key fob for my Microsoft account, and another account does phone verification. I use one password. If they don't want to put the effort in for account security then neither do I. I use a password manager for nearly all my other accounts.

    I just remember my passwords idk lol. I never understood the logic of a password manager, someone hacks your manager they have everything in your life? Rather just run the risk of getting hacked one account at a time rather than they all get hacked at once when they get my password manager.

    So make the manager's password massive. There, that complete sentence just now is over 30 characters long and could literally be a password. You can double up security with a secret file that you must locate on your PC, in KeePass, at least. You can also add notes about entries, track more than just website accounts, etc. It's just too much brainpower to remember individual websites' passwords. All important ones have 2FA anyway.

    Managers are local to your computer so you likely messed up big-time if it got hacked, whereas websites can get hacked entirely out of our control.
