It’s 2024 you would think we would be able to use biometrics or something…

It's time to jump on a password manager. Best decision of my life.
Bitwarden is either open-source or very often audited by security analysts etc and is the best I've seen recommended, especially over LastPass or 1Password.
And it's only $10/year.

Oh, i always forget my passwords , not the important ones tho just the regular accounts I often use.

Forgetting passwords is a thing of the past for me, if I can't login to a site, I just give up and forget the site exists because it's easier than going thru the rest process on some of these sites hahaha.

I have always been extremely skeptical and I have yet to jump on one 😕

They make life easier tbh, also means u get to use a completely random password per site AND you only have to remember 1 password (the master password) for the manager so yeah why not jump on it :D

I probably should!

I'm sure most of us have been there at some point in the past, but nah I've been very well on top of all of my accounts/passwords for a long time now. Never something I want to have to sweat or deal with issues for.

People know their own password by heart? Insanity

Some of my random ass character passwords I do actually remember. Not my HF one as I don't ever need to use it. Runescape for instance though I'd have to always enter when I logged in which was of course a lot and so naturally that random password is now engrained in my brain haha. 99% of my passwords though are saved is all.

Yeah all of my passwords are the kind that the average person would think you're crazy and or weird asf for having lmao. That's called good security though. Granted having a good password is also only part of the battle. Ultimately doesn't mean shit if you allow yourself to be compromised for instance.
