    Considering the fact that virtually every expert in cybersecurity and cryptography agrees that you need a password manager, it definitely is true. Your issue is that you think you know better than everybody else… Let’s just hope your arrogance doesn’t cost you your accounts because then you’ll be getting a whole lot of “I told you so” from most folks.

      Good to hear that every expert elected you to be their spokesperson. Trying to borrow ethos from other experts is just sad. But do you know why they will often say that? Because they know that a lot of people otherwise would use 1234 or abcd… So that’s the easy advice. The good advice would be to teach people to make a strong and memorable password.

      Well, what might your arrogance cost you, since you are sitting here, trying to pass yourself of as spokesperson for **EVERY **expert in cybersecurity?

        I’m just speaking common sense here, dude. It’s common sense, and if you do any ounce of research, you’ll see the exact same thing that I’m saying.

        Coming up with a solid and strong master password is one thing. But trying to come up with some variations of a master password that you use across all your different sites is inevitably going to result in predictability and predictability is poor security.

        Again, common sense info that you’ll find if you do any ounce of research, but it’s obvious that you have neither done your research nor do you want to do your research. You just want to sound like you’re smarter than everybody.

          It’s not common sense, unless you are already determined, that you have made a flaw from the beginning. Predictability is ONLY possible, if you know the way the password combinations was made, or if you have enough (at least 5-10) different passwords, from the same person, and could figure out their system - which is hard, even at that point.

          Thanks for advising me to do some research. How about you point me to what you are talking about, or else I could just say, that you should go do some research that proves I’m right. See… that’s meaningless. I am smarter than you - MR. I try to demean people I talk to, because I’m the smartest…
