I have been relying on ROBOFORM for nearly a decade, or whenever the heck they launched. Running my business safer, easier across Mac, Windows, iOS; priceless. Use it 100 times a day, literally. @roboform

What we need is 2FA and long, easy to remember, passwords. Not IT bureaucrats that make us choose a complex Pa$$W0rd_ and switch it every 90 days. THAT is the worst password policy, only encourages writing it down on a post-it by the keyboard.

That's why you is a password manager. 2FA helps, but any password that is easy to remember is also easy to hack.

I do not believe you understand how password strenght and hacking work.

I understand very well. But whatever. Do what you like. I'm not trying to convince you.

Luckily for you, I AM trying to convince you. Simple example: · Password generated by 1Password. 16 characters including caps, low caps, numbers and symbols: "VyNy&uUbbXsCyw7J" Complex Hard to remember and type if you don't have the PW Manager. Entropy: 85.1 bits

· Password generated by 4 random words. All lowcaps. Only symbols are spaces: "stupid bureaucrats complicating passwords" Simple Easy to remember and type even on mobile with fat fingers Entropy: 160.9 bits

You need to more than double the length of the password generated by 1P to achieve higher entropy. In password strength, the key is length, not complexity. You can check the numbers here: http://rumkin.com/tools/password/passchk.php …
