Because with the alternative they'll require you to "confirm your e-mail" instead of just picking a password
- eru 3mo agoI'm actually more annoyed by having to pick passwords than confirming my email.
- hotelsacher 3mo agoPicking passwords is a job best left to password managers. You don't use a hand crank when riding an elevator, do you?
- eru 3mo agoI am using a password manager.
- mystifyingpoi 3mo agoI'm opposite. If my email goes down, or I do not have access to it, I cannot login. With passwords I still can.
- eru 3mo agoMy email is with Google. They are less likely to go down than my password manager.
- jurgenburgen 3mo agoThen what’s the point of it all? Just use Google login.
- eru 3mo agoYes, that's what I'm doing, when it's available. But it's not always an option, so a password manager is still a good idea.
- Viliam1234 3mo agoUntil one day your Google account gets locked with an automatically generated message that you violated an unspecified rule. Good luck getting contact to a human support.
- mystifyingpoi 3mo agoWell then you need a better password manager. Like a .kdbx file which is ~100% available, given enough copies I guess.
- lucumo 3mo agoDoesn't your password manager take care of that?
- eru 3mo agoIt does. But I haven't properly synced it across all my devices, yet. I know, my fault.
- Geezus_42 3mo agoUse a password manager to autogenerate them?
- zalebz 3mo agowhen in a rush I will put in gibberish instead going through the pw manager steps and rely on resetting the pw at a later time
- 0cf8612b2e1e 3mo agoConsidering the two different people who fat finger my email address when signing up for services, I wish more systems required a validation step. Janet and Jake, I am sick of getting your stuff. Learn your actual email.
