I prefer to remember only one long passphrase and enter it in only one place – my password manager. And then I trust my password manager to generate, store and submit the right password to the right portal and only upon my consent. This is vastly better than I remembering and entering the passwords myself. But it is still not perfect. I would rather all websites and apps universally moved to a standardized machine friendly authentication API and then I have a authentication user-agent (my password manager) do the actual authentication.

- vinay_ys 6y agoThe password managers can have many different strategies for keeping their seed secret – it could be local hardware backed or cloud based but locked to a few of the devices you own etc.
