Legit have had conversations with people where they position themselves as superior because they use "the same password" but with an @ instead of an a, or an extra 0 at the end.

Password Managers are really the best solution to using 1 password everywhere without actually putting yourself at risk. 1 password, to unlock the manager, that lets you copy/paste logins.

But nope 99% of all bullshit I experience in my friends and family is "but thats too complicated" or "thats too hard" when its 200% fucking not.

I'm calling them out. These are shit excuses for what their real issue is which is "i don't wanna change my habits" which is just childish and ignorant.

Even if its easier, even if its safer. If its different, then they don't want to even try it.

There are some people who will have "always used" a spoon to dig holes, and if you showed them a shovel, they'd complain that it's too hard or too complex, and go back to using the spoon.

I work in IT and don't want to have to use annoying long passwords, so I've been team mfa for at least a decade now. I had physical code devices for SWOTR and FFXIV until I got a software one for the latter. I don't play the former much but I still have a working physical key somewhere.

In fact, I'm more annoyed when a service still uses texting your phone and no option to use a mfa app.
