password managers are growing, but I'm not sure that 'most' people use them. Maybe 'most' software engineers or techies, but the average person probably has no idea what a password manager is.

They may not know the name of a password manager, but many may know their iPhone remembers and fills in passwords.

  Same goes for Chrome and Firefox on all platforms

    Which is an overall terrible idea since passwords saved by browsers are saved in plaintext and are very easy to get to.

>”the average person probably has no idea what a password manager is.” In my experience, that’s a notebook or piece of scrap paper next to the PC with all their usernames and passwords scribbled on it. That being said, all of the friends and extended family members that I have helped with computer issues have chosen to save several passwords in their browser’s autofill. Yet, none of them knew that they could view and edit these passwords.

Depends what you consider a password manager. "Word doc with all my passwords in it" is effectively a password manager in this context
