Around 1,000 in 1password. I use 1password because many of them are shared.
Edit. That is only my work 1pass. I have a personal instance too with a few hundred.

#82And I thought I was out of hand with 496 in 1Password… now it feels quaint looking around here.

#83Looks like I have 2160 in Strongbox (recently moved from 1Password).

#84176 sounded so low to me I wasn’t sure if you were talking about for all sites or just HN alts.

#85Before posting I was looking at the comments to see how bad I was… after seeing 1k+ it seems like I’m fine with my 627 bitwarden items!

#86If 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…
Yeah, I'm the same. Google and a few others. The rest all just get the new password that Firefox suggests and I don't even pay attention to what it is.

#88Personal ones close to that. But as a contractor, way more than than 176.

#89Shit, 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?!
There's a case for that even if you just have 5 important accounts. If the account matters, give it a long random password.
There's an unfortunate correlation between how long and complex my password is and how I often I have to manually type it in. Microsoft are really good in this regard, and you almost never have to type in your password once you have the Authenticator set up. Google isn't too bad, once you're logged in, but you still sometimes have to type out your password in a situation where having access to your password manager is not convenient. But I find Apple is the worst - I often need to type in my password, and often in situations where I don't have access to my password manager.

I take a pragmatic approach: the dozen logins in my life that actually matter get strong unique passwords, and everything I don't give a shit about gets the same password.
It's not pragmatic, it's dangerous.
Sooner or later someone could take control of one of the accounts you don't care about and use in a way you don't expect to gain control of things you do care about.
