I used to think this, but I think this is actually bad advice for a few reasons.
1. People are bad at making new passwords
2. Someone might clear their browser history and delete the logins as a result.
3. Lock-in into the Chrome ecosystem.
I personally use KeePass, but I understand it is a bit cumbersome to carry around a USB stick.
I'd recommend LastPass to those who don't understand simply because it has a free tier, but everyone else should seriously consider paying the 2$ a month for whichever service they use.
- jenscow 8y agoChrome now has a "generate password" option in password fields, and a page where the passwords can be managed. For the people I'm talking about, installing and maintaining a "real" password manager isn't going to happen. The alternative is for them to continue using "Nameofcat1" for every damn site. It's a reasonable trade-off.
