I was wrong about password managers being too much hassle

For years I thought remembering my own passwords was fine, even after my old email got hacked in 2020. I finally tried a free one last month after my brother kept bugging me. Setting it up took maybe 20 minutes, and now I have a different strong password for every site without trying to remember them. The best part is it auto-fills on my phone, so I'm not typing long passwords anymore. Has anyone else switched recently and found a feature they really like?

Yeah the auto-fill is a game changer. I used to avoid logging into stuff on my phone because typing those crazy passwords was such a pain. Now it just pops up. My only gripe is when a website has a weird login page and the manager doesn't catch it. Happens on my bank's site sometimes.

Ugh, tell me about it, @the_rose. I just copy-paste from my notes app when that happens.

Of course the bank's site is the one that breaks it.
