Comment on Avast fined $16.5 million for ‘privacy’ software that actually sold users’ browsing data

It solidly explains why you’re against password managers when literally everyone who knows anything about Internet security is for them.
Oh, I can remember far more than one. But I can’t remember the 687 that I have currently stored in Bitwarden. Can you? Can you accurately and correctly remember six hundred and eighty-seven unique and distinct passwords? 687 unique and distinct passwords that are long and complex enough to be difficult to guess? Can you constantly monitor all 687 accounts for when they show up in data breaches? Can you recognize all 687 login screens for when they’re spoofed for a phishing attack? Remember, some of those are banks! You’ve probably given a couple of them your SSN! There are 687 potential land mines out there. Good luck!

Jfc I don’t fucking care whether or not you believe me, do whatever you want with your passwords.
I could use “A” breath of fresh air I could go for “A” bite of pizza I can remember “A” password where you can’t
Next time use context clues
Now please shut the fuck up, this entire interaction with you has been enough for the rest of my life, and at this point you’re literally the last person I would ever listen to about passwords. Have a good “A”!

I also don’t like to be wrong, so I understand why you’re lashing out. And oh for the love of God please don’t listen to me about passwords! I’m not a security professional. I’m just saying you should listen to the people who are, not just go with your gut feeling about what a safe way of securing your online life is.
