#232238 according to 1Password. Every time I add a new one I feel a piece of my soul leave my body.

#233899 in Bitwarden and that is after cleaning and excludes ‘lazy’ accounts I logged into with google or facebook (those I generally don’t use or find important).

#234My password manager has four digits of credentials stored. It dates back to when years began with the digit 1. Certainly _most_ of those are no longer in use, but maybe the time has come to see if Taco is still posting to Chips & Dips.

#235With a version controlled password store you can do silly things like this: $ gource … ~/.password-store | ffmpeg … password-store.mp4 $ publish password-store.mp4 QmeN62Ewuv93epe27VmniXHUFJQLirFfEo5eM1sKdxd2m5 https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/QmeN62Ewuv93epe27VmniXHUFJQ...
well that's fun

#236Between 3,000 and 4,000 (1Password no longer shows the count).

#237I'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.
Well excuse me for wanting to know that my barber has availability before I walk in

#238> But I still have a near-stroke every time I have to do the "forgot my password" loop, or use Duo Mobile/other 2FA. That's funny, I've stopped caring about remembering most passwords and use the "forgot my password" loop as a login mechanism for rarely accessed sites/services. I also only enable 2FA on important ones like email, github, or banking. Basically my threat model includes my ability to lose things.
This works until you want to change your email domain (or provider in some cases)

#239Shit, 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?!
Or a solid case for alternatives to standard username / password login concepts.

#240Please tell me you let chrome save and sync your passwords lol. Always a delight for pentesters and real attackers a like when people do that.
