Just use a password manager and a unique, long, random generated password for every site. There’s no need or reason to know the password to anything other than your password manager and your primary email.
in like a decade the use of a password manager will be a bad idea. i don’t know how but it will be.
Hmm, a single point of access for every password you have? I don’t see the problem…
The thing is the average person either can’t or can’t be bothered to remember even a dozen actually secure passwords, so they fall back to a couple of simple derivations of a common password, meaning each and every site a user signs up on represents an additional single point of failure.
Lucky until we get actual quantum computing, it’s not worth the years on a supercomputer to crack a single stolen set of encrypted passwords.
