I wish that were true more often. There's a handful of native apps that don't remember my credentials and I have to go look them up on the desktop in my password manager. For example, I installed Pokémon Go but haven't looked into it further because I don't have my Google password memorized; it's a randomly generated password that I expect my computer to remember for me.
It seems like every native IoT widget controller I try wants me to remember more credentials.
- NickBusey 10y agoGet a password manager that syncs to your phone. I'd be completely lost without it. I love 1Password for syncing. Just pop it open, copy/paste, done.
- j_jochem 10y agoI use KeePassX and Keepass2Android, with the database file stored on Dropbox. It's free and runs natively on Linux.
- StavrosK 10y agoSince upvotes are invisible, I will comment to say I second this. Keepass2Android is a amazing and I love this solution, even though I've always otherwise hated password managers.
- mcculley 10y agoI'm aware of these options and use LastPass. My issue is that I shouldn't have to copy and paste at all. These apps should be using system services for this (e.g., the Keychain API on iOS).
