I mean, the iPhone is only 10 years old, and the difference between the first generation and the iPhone X is astounding. That said, I generally agree with you: I think a lot of the advancement we'll see in the coming years will be in t

Lots of people may have recently switched to a password manager, and now use it to store old passwords that they haven't regenerated. It's very likely a common use case.
