#1221Password says 348 for me, and I know there's many more that are autogenerated and stored in a keychain.

#1232151 according to Bitwarden. That's what 25 years of actively using internet does to you :)
2151 is insane. Share any fun/quirky/useful uncommon websites ?

#124Around 300 at this point, sans any deleted ones. I don't think I know a single password anymore, since they're all randomized and separate for each site. > Obviously, anything with OAuth is "bundled" into my Google account. Maybe it's just me, but I try to never use centralized identity providers (outside of things that I really don't care about) and use separate e-mail auth whenever possible, across multiple e-mail…
> people getting banned … with no ways of getting in contact with the support This is the most out-of-whack part in my humble opinion. Most of us have a tremendous amount of data and things like auth tokens tied up in Google, and Apple, and due to their scale and the fact that at least for GOOG it’s a “free service,” they’ve set the expectation up that “support” should be limited to searching an FAQ, and also that an…
Google cornered themselves: I’d never give my credit card to Google. I switched to Apple precisely because I have my emails in Google. Even if both had non-support, it’s better to at least not have to report credit card fraud against the company who also has my emails…

#125More than 1000. More than I'd like. I can't help but wonder how many websites my personal information is on at this point between random shopping, forums, and all the rest.

Not counting all the sites for which I use the "Log in with Google/Facebook/etc". Many of these credentials I haven't used for years.

#127746 accounts.
746 unique passwords, ~600 unique usernames, ~600 unique email addresses.

#128If I need to login to your site less than once or twice a year, "Forgot my password" is my password manager. Personally, I feel that the utility of me working to keep and maintain that information in a database for high availability is essentially zero. As a result, I store very few accounts overall and checking out as "guest" hasn't been a problem of any sort. There's like 10 critical things that I feel the need to…
For websites I really don't care about, I just get a disposable email on dropmail, and copy paste the email address to both the email and password fields to save time. Surprisingly, some websites check this and won't allow you to set your password to your email, but removing the last character or adding a 1 at the end works around it.

#129I have over 300 on 1Password, some with more than 5 different accounts from the same site like Google and Slack. I also lean heavily on the 1Password extensions to help on the retrieval part.
It's incredibly insane but I manage it by adding a namespace postfix so it's easier to identify which when autocompleting login forms. For example, "Google (Personal), "Google (UMich)" etc.

#130Shit, just looking at the replies, there's a solid case for password managers. No normal human is going to memorize 100+ unique passwords meeting various complexity requirements. It almost makes shaming people for re-using passwords look like you're out of touch. Of course they're following bad practices, how could they not be?!
This. And password managers can do more by constantly checking latest account breaches like on https://haveibeenpwned.com then flagging it to their customers to rotate their credentials.
