- latexr 3y agoBut you do realise non-technical people (i.e. most of the world) will click those links, don’t you? Password managers have a convenient and secure solution to the problem and you’re offering an alternative which requires teaching and convincing everyone to act differently in a very specific situation to prevent a situation that rarely happens but is potentially catastrophic when it does.
