As long as that password is the one for your password manager, all good

If you mean it's the same password you send to basically every website you visit:

It is a matter of time before your password is leaked in a data breach, if that's not already happened.

    Yeah I do not understand this attitude in this day and age. Password managers are ubiquitous. It’s so fucking easy and will make you so much safer. There’s absolutely ZERO reason to not use one.

    Bitwarden hasn’t steered me wrong yet.

    I recommend 1Password. Never a leak, never sold data, just a good manager with proper integrations, lets you generate totp codes in the manager, can hook up ssh creds so they’re not sitting in plaintext on your drive. Many people wouldn’t recommend closed source which I understand, but I do use it for this.

    That's very dangerous. It's still a very good method to write the most important passwords into a little notebook and put it somewhere not totally obvious at home.

    1 really good password (for your password manager) > 20 passwords only good enough if the software can prevent bruteforcing

    Until the really good password gets leaked and now you have 19 more exposed accounts

    nvm I either didn't see it was for the passqord manager or you edited it afterwards

    My password manager doesn't have network functions and I use Linux, so that's rather unlikely. If my device got infected with malware (keyloggers etc.), I doubt the difference between one really good password and 20 good passwords that I somehow remember would matter.

    give us a hint, lets make this fun

    I have a base password that I modify in somewhere 2 characters after the middle to derive all my other passwords from and yeah it's the only cool thing I have.
