I do it because lastpass/1pw/bitwarden/etc all seem to generate random passwords which are hard to use manually. If they do a "pronounceable" one it's all lower case or doesn't mix case other than randomly or capitalizing the first letter. Many of us like some kind of variation on xkcd's password generator. I haven't seen an implementation that does it the way I like so I wrote my own. I have that generate a password and then I put it into bitwarden (or whatever I'm currently using). I thank myself when I have to manually type the password into a device because I can look at it and remember it long enough to type it one time.
Also, some "long and strong" passwords are too long and/or string for sites that have poor password requirements.
- notheguyouthink 9y agoI'm not sure what your requirements are, but 1password optionally generates passes from words. Eg: > fracas homily unsaddle bonus pueblo victim I vastly prefer it.. by leagues. With that said, I rarely use it. For my feeling of security I want to use many word combos, but it's very common for password input services to limit the number of characters I can use. Some of them (shockingly often) even truncate the password and accept it anyway, so now I don't even know what my password is. Shame.
