Get a password manager.
I have some weird mental block regarding starting to use them. I really should stop procrastinating.
Yes, please get a password manager. This improves both security and ease of use.
Start using it! You dont have to insert all your passwords immediately. It can naturally grow, minimizing startup cost
It's kinda neat when you do, though. For the obvious reason, of course. But I find also that it has the extra feature of showing you all at once just how many accounts you really have.
For most people who use the Internet, I expect it's easily dozens, perhaps over a hundred. It is truly no wonder why people reuse passwords or rely on simple algorithmic tricks to remember passwords, there is literally no way the common person could develop a unique secure password on their own for all of these services and recall all of them. A secure password manager is truly the only reasonable solution.
Get your shit together bro. Wtf are you even doing with your life. They're free ffs.
