Ideally we'd all use password managers, but I'm aware 99% of peoole don't. Even with one, it's frankly a pain in the butt to be nagged about changing it. "Man, my passwords are 20 random characters. I don't need yo reset ot unless you've had a breach."

Password managers are great. Until you need to log in with a new device or a device that's not yours.

Oh, the sixteen digit randomly generated password with two alphanumeric characters in it? Sure I remember that.

You gotta use word-based passcodes instead of random jibberish. That way you can quickly read it from your phone and type it in.
