Conversely, for certain types of sites (medium being one), I'm more likely to sign up if I don't have to generate and store a new password. Even with a password manager it's a lot more friction than entering an email then clicking a link.
- nickjj 9y agoIt depends on what password manager you use. I like using pass[0]. It takes a legit 3 seconds to make an initial new password for a site and then accessing it requires running `pass Sites/medium.com -c" which copies the password to my clipboard for 45 seconds. I don't even know what most of my passwords are because for the last few months I've started to use its built in feature to generate passwords that get past 99.9% of arbitrary password rules that a lot of sites enforce.

- 33degrees 9y agoI use 1password and it's great. But not having to use a password at all is still faster...
