- Spivak 8y agoWhat's the password for your local machine before you can launch the password manager? What's the password for the password manager? What do you do on a shared machine that doesn't have your password manager software installed? What's the password for the place where you could download your database on a new machine? Password requirements so complex humans can't remember them is just slang for DIY 2FA where the factors are a weak password and possession of your user's database. You might as well just require actual 2FA at that point and lax the requirements.
