Just want to say that StackExchange is the place to get answers for questions like this (waiting for my downvotes). Is there a better place?

I think stack exchange would delete the question because it is too vague and open to opinion.

  true, ask chatgpt to reword this post to be appropriate for stackexchange first. i cant think of a way to ask this and chatgpt failed also. maybe there is a link to a duplicate answered q there

    there is no way to word this question to be appropriate for stack exchange. it fundamentally does not belong on stack exchange

      yes I can kind of see that, its not specific enough and almost a product recommendation ask. Normally the Security department handles this and we turn it over to them to make the policies and procedures.

        Decent chance that the asker and many of the good answers here are the professionals staffing security departments. This place is better than StackExchange for this kind of discussion. If you’re curious about how companies manage passwords, there are people with experience sharing. Why not sit back and learn?

    yeah let's waste big LLM energy on obfuscating wording to make it sound like your off-topic question is actually topical ... When I see how people decide to use this tool, I really wonder if (the current state of the art at least) really is a tool for the good or if it needs big watermarks so it can be rejected when you try to propagate/submit the contents somewhere and it becomes only usable for the things it's good at like summarizing short texts to tweet size or helping with language learning or such

  And (except on a specific site within their network), product recommendations are OT.

    I was going to ask if it isn't the other way around, when I realized you probably mean off-topic rather than on-topic. If anyone ever runs a competition for the worst acronym ever, this nominee can probably only be topped by a three-way confusion or something that threatens lives!

      Yes I realized later that OT might have two meanings, and the most probable one is not the same everywhere... but too late to edit.
