Password managers really shine at times like these. It's especially helpful if when using complicated auto-generated passwords. That way you don't readily "know" your password so the first thing you do is look to autofill.
It's still a good idea to have an analog backup of really important passwords. Like if you use Gmail and it is the password reset email for everything else, print out the generated password and put it somewhere safe. Just incase your password manager becomes insolvent one day.
- chki 10y agoI would argue that it is probably a good idea to print out all your passwords every month or so as there is not much risk attached to it (thieves do not usually look for these things).
- unholiness 10y ago> Password managers really shine at times like these I agree on some levels, but password managers can and have had vulnerabilities[0] that can allow the gmail password to be populated despite the wrong domain. Given that the autofill adds legitimacy and reduces friction, it could make this particular scenario go from bad to worse.
