Because sometimes you do need to type it. I'm reminded of signing into a Kindle e-reader with shared (family) account and a long randomly-generated password with lots of symbols (I could not change the password). The Kindle has a terrible keyboard and obscures the password input, so what could have taken ten seconds took ten minutes and many attempts. I use “correct horse battery staple”-style[1] passphrases now because they're still long and secure, but also memorable, so I don't have to enter passwords character-by-character, and I've memorized all of my most-used accounts now and don't need to look them up. 1Password can even generate these types of passwords automatically. The only annoying bit is when services have arbitrary restrictions like “no spaces”, or “mix of capitals, lower-case, numbers, and symbols”. In those cases I use hyphens instead of spaces, or stick “A1!” on the end. [1]: https://xkcd.com/936/ https://xkcd.com/936/
