Who remembers their passwords? Use a password manager and it’s as simple as a Google login. It even fills in the credentials automatically on a hotkey.

Ok you have to create a new password the first time you want to register somewhere. But how lazy can people get? It’s also just a button click in a password manager.

who remembers their passwords

just remember one master password for everything, totally secure bro

what

Password (singular) vs passwords (plural).

I wasn’t confused about plural vs singular though. I meant it exactly the way I wrote it

How is remembering one master password worse than using Google single sign on with a password?

I’ve suggested password managers to loads of people who’d rather cling to updating their little pocketbooks where it’s impossible to distinguish between certain characters and password versions. The stubbornness of tech illiterates is stunning.

I have to think there’s a bigger reason why telling them about it doesn’t magically fix anything… I mean “if they were smart” they’d already be using it anyway, but because of “not smart”, they also won’t switch either.

I honestly don’t know how I could function without password manager. It was one or two passwords for everything or constant resetting becauseI forgot what variaion I used where.
