A meme saying “Society if end users remembered their passwords.” it is accompanied by a picture of a futuristic city.
I have approximately 12 different passwords to remember for work, all with separate requirements, the longest of which lasts 3 months. I work in a kitchen. Is someone going to steal my password in order to…monitor the temperature and humidity of our dry storage? Unlikely. Sometimes, password requirements and constant changing, while a “best practice,” leads to a larger headache than the actual risk.
Don’t believe anyone who says constant changing of passwords is “best practice,” it’s not. The constant changing typically leads to less secure passwords and practices by end users.
Society if fucking password manager
Nah, this is society if we move past needing so many passwords. Passkeys, federated logins, and one-time login codes are all preferable.
I don’t know my passwords, so I can’t be forced to reveal them if I delete my password database.
I used bit warden to randomize and keep my passwords, have 2f auth, and use a bio sensor to unlock it on my phone. I imported hundreds of accounts from last pass. I only used it on my phone and used the bio sensor to unlock it. I forgot the master password after 3 months and had to create a new account with the old import. Only lost 3 months of updates, but still. Learned my lesson.
