Aprico is a neat idea, but as soon as you face a website that has stupid requirements like a character limit, specific banned characters (like symbols), or other it has no way of adjusting for that and you have to start tracking exceptions. It also has a 1-1 limit of website, unless you come up with service naming heuristic as well. Regardless of these limitations (which I realize are edge cases and very much not the point of the service), it's a nice, simple idea :)

Don’t forget the even stupider variant, the allow-list of like 5 symbols. “Tell me you failed infosec 101 without telling me you failed infosec 101.”

  There's a local government website that requires eight or fewer characters, and the eighth character has to be a digit. They've tried to change the requirement, but it comes from vendor software. The vendor just waves around a middle finger and points to the contract.

Anectodal from a few years of use, surprisingly those stupid requirements are almost a thing of the past nowadays. But yes, some edge cases still require some bits of muscle memory, which may be your thing, or not. I'm a bit ashamed that I never found the time to write down some docs, so I never really shared it, apart from a few friends and colleagues. On desktop, the web extension is quite convenient, it will autofill everything for you but the master password. On iOS, I made a simple shortcut[0] where you share a url and - thanks to the os autofill - you just get your password copied into the clipboard, no input required at all. Also, on Android there is something similar using the PWA Web Share Target API. And that's it, thanks for your kind words.
