Like others have said they're probably using Google as a password manager. When you're making an account for anything while in the Chrome browser it recommends strong passwords for you such as UjafUif&i$ureT6hj9gzq5hvc$tcgo0be3. Would you memorize it?

[–] NielsBohron 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I get it, but I also don't understand the idea of letting Google suggest a random secure password for me. Probably just the Genx/Millenial in me, but I subscribe to the xkcd school of random password generation (password generator), which makes it really easy to have secure passwords that meet complexity requirements and are also easy to memorize.

Why not both then? Make your own human readable passwords, but do a different one each time and store them in a password vault.

[–] NielsBohron 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Definitely. I don't really do anything that is particularly sensitive, so I only have 3-4 standard passwords (that meet the most common complexity criteria) that I separate by how sensitive the information/service is, but if I truly needed more, I would absolutely be using a 3rd party password vault. I just don't have the need right now, so I haven't bothered.

What gets me is the people that don't know their own passwords, don't know how/where to look them up, and don't even understand how to reset their passwords (because they can't log into their own email). I don't even know how they function in modern society.

I worked support for a phone manufacturer for a while and helped a lot of poor lost souls struggle to get back into their Google accounts on their new and replacement devices. I got a lot of them in, but some may have never gotten out of authentication hell

[–] papalonian 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I have my own password generation scheme. Not the most secure thing in the world but I'm at least able to log in to my accounts from other people's computers. One of these days I'll get around to using a password manager but I just can't be bothered.
