Haha I cannot say for sure. I certainly started to duplicate my credentials... so now I'm more likely to be logged in as BendyLemmy.
So initially it was Lemmy.ml (which wasn't working too well) and it got annoying that I wasn't logged in when opening links - so BeeHaw, Lemmy.world, https://fosstodon.org/ is BendyToy,...
One thing I'm finding useful now in Bitwarden is that I can autofill and copy (so just refresh for a new password) to get the same username for each one... but it's kind of getting out of hand.
It's a little frustrated that we can't use a kind of centralised profile - like the way an 'opendesktop' account can be used to log in to various instances of websites. If I log in the Opendesktop website, and then go to Mastodon, I find my Opendesktop account gets logged in there - so there's more fragmentation.
Overal it is just very confusing.
One day I hope we have federated identities. The tech exists but it's not yet woven into how Lemmy does things.
