Why keep score? If you have a password manager, the number is irrelevant. But: KeePass 2052. Cheating because I work for an agency... so we have hundreds of clients' passwords to store and selectively distribute to the team.
Ask HN: I have 176 logins/accounts. How many do you have?

#102I have 260 items in my vault. Of course, I'm sure it could use some tidying up.

#1031105 according to Keepass. Although at least a third of these are no longer active.
woop another Keepass user!

#104445 logins for me on a self hosted bitwarden (vaultwarden) instance. Although a lot of those are for user & root logins to local machines I provision.

#105Around 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.
I'm curious, do you actually have ~1,000 work-related accounts? Or second accounts/alts for various non-work sites using your work email?
I have zero non-work sites on my work email.
Crazy isn't it. Not everything is a login, and not everything is a password. There are keys in there for instance, and some credit cards. The majority are logins though. Crazy, isn't it.

#1061456 items in Bitwarden; 1180 have both username and password but there's a lot of duplication - e.g. I've got 6 items for my local nzbget instance (all the same u/p combo.) This is an accumulation since ~2010 starting with 1Password, then LastPass, then Bitwarden. [edit: 1339 items have a password but only 1180 of those also have a username]
Do you know you can add multiple URLs to the same un/pw and it will autofill on more sites?

Agreed. This is utterly baffling question.
You might as well ask me how many grains there are in my salt shaker.
Interesting academic question, but seeing so many people climb on their soap box is wild.

This. SMS 2FA has been considered insecure by NIST since 2016 [1] and it's a major pain when travelling and swapping sim cards. [1] https://www.theregister.com/2016/07/24/nist_says_sms_no_good...
The best solution is to create a Google Voice account and use that number for 2FA
Many MFA implementations will detect and disallow the use of VoIP numbers... for security reasons.

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.
Beyond my accounts related to my important email addresses, Steam, finances and medical which can all be counted on one or two hands, I really couldn't give a damn about the other accounts or their password security.
Strong and unique passwords for the important accounts, simple and reused passwords for the rest. You're welcome to hack into my accounts on Hacker News, Reddit, Discord, LINE, various IRC networks, various forums, etc. I don't care; there's nothing important in there besides sentimental value.

#110940 in 1Password (I feel a lightweight that I haven't hit 4 figures yet). Stopped fighting a while back and signed up to the cloud version instead of just having Dropbox backups, partly to help onboard my family better. Haven't regretted it yet, obviously will do if/when I find out all my stuff has been hacked but blah.
Don't have numbers for my work machine upstairs, but on my phone here's how recently they were all used:
1 Day: 1 2 Days: 1 14 Days: 3 30 Days: 3 60 Days: 8 90 Days: 6
So, mostly cruft. I have a lot of stuff still done via Google auth, despite migrating all my domains and email to Fastmail couple of years back (which has been flawless since). Also, just checked, and I only have 27 entries in Authy.
