I would just not use a password manager if I had to do that honestly.

I don't use password managers. Don't trust any of them.

Why should he not use a password manager?

Why not just use a password manager?

Oh I use a password manager too. Just pointing out it isn’t a catch all

I don't know, maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I never used and never will use a password manager. I can't think of a reason to let a business know all my passwords while also making it my single point of failure.

I could not convince myself to use any password manager as they represent a single point of failure that would cause me significant problems if they were compromised or unavailable.

So you're not using a password manager either?

That makes no sense. You use a password manager so you don't need to manage the passwords. If you don't like the concept of having passwords at all then use a stateless, hash-based password generator instead.

If it’s n or convenient then users won’t use a password manager at all:

stop using password managers

I never used a password manager, call me paranoid, but giving my password to a third-party (often not free software) for me is just pure madness.

Why not use a password manager?

mikeash | karma 74524 | avg karma 3.52 · | 2017-04-08 01:08:06

Which is weird, because using a password manager makes things easier. It's not extra effort to be secure.

Clownfused | karma 10 | avg karma 0.83 · | 2021-02-26 00:37:29+00:00

Or you could just use a password manager...

lmilcin | karma 13853 | avg karma 4.28 · | 2021-04-24 23:54:41+00:00

That's why I don't use password managers. That's giving one entity too much power over everything I own.

yalogin | karma 4023 | avg karma 2.42 · | 2022-06-23 07:43:46

Assuming you use a password manager which one do you use? If not why do you not use one?

ghughes | karma 1585 | avg karma 6.95 · | 2022-06-06 19:07:36

But this is irrelevant if you use a password manager.

RodericDay | karma 2752 | avg karma 2.4 · | 2016-09-19 14:54:24

There's no real reason not to use a password manager.

Aerroon | karma 4503 | avg karma 2.62 · | 2023-08-05 21:11:53

Or just use a password manager.
