Presently I have 384 entries in KeepassXC, but it's not all online accounts. Sometimes I just put info in my keepass vault because I want to have easy access to it while I'm at my computer.
Ask HN: I have 176 logins/accounts. How many do you have?

#212The problem with this metric is that several of those accounts are defunct or no longer even in existence. It's much easier to add to my keypass than to delete from it

#213Uh, looks like 1200. A few duplicates from LastPass or the LastPass -> 1Password migration many years ago, I forget.

#214Earlier quoted context omitted.
They finally removed the virtual keyboard. Do you remember when it was a random layout virtual keyboard? Good times.
Since when? As far as I know they still have the virtual keyboard and it was never random. They used to have a random seed physical card.
May 2 of this year, they posted a notification that the virtual keyboard would be removed the week of May 7 "to improve the customer experience."

#215I'm probably the one with the least. I have 35 in my password manager. I purge the ones I don't need every 2 or 3 months. I even gave away GOG and Steam accounts to friends after years of not playing games. Sometimes I have to send a threatening email to delete some accounts. Currently there's about 2 I'm waiting for an answer. It's gotten worse lately: people just don't delete your account anymore :D. Because of tha…
a barbershop that needs login/password for scheduling haircuts? fuck off If it takes reservations, it's not a barber shop. It's a beauty salon.
Telling "Beauty Salons" to fuck off has been the correct answer for 20+ years. The reasons may change (actually, they only get added to), but the reply stays the same.

#216The most infuriating auth-related thing for me is the companies that insist on doing phone-based 2FA. I'm inextricably linked to my specific phone number at this point in a way that previously was only an issue with my email address.
I had that issue when I left a (15+ year) job with a company that owned the phone number I'd been using for both work and personal. Justification being that this was waaaaay back when mobiles were just becoming ubiquitous; Nokia 3310 days.
Not just the hassle of re-connecting the accounts, but even knowing which ones were inextricably linked to the phone number to which I no longer had access.
(I think I could have requested the number personally, but I wanted to make a clean break, and having a new phone number meant I was much more difficult to contact for any legacy issues I no longer cared about - double-edged sword)

#217I'm pushing 600 in my main password manager, but most of them aren't unique — I just use "farce72$" by default since it hasn't shown up in HIBP (yet -- fingers crossed) and hits three of the major character classes, so it's pretty high-entropy. The password manager mostly serves the role of autofilling stuff in browsers.
In case anyone's wondering, it's not the HN password (with or without quotes) :)

#218> Obviously, anything with OAuth is "bundled" into my Google account. So if anything this is a huge underestimate. If Google ever pulls the plug on you, you're in for a bad time.
I guess despite how cool it is to hate Facebook in 2023 there’s a really solid case to be made that it’s a smarter “OAuth” choice than Google, since with Google, if you fell back to resetting your password for another site to get in after a Google account shutdown, the email on the account would be the same Gmail account that you’re locked out of!

They removed it approximately two weeks ago.
