And how many "normal" people do you know that use a password manager? It's 0 for me. They don't even use post-it notes, which would be an improvement over "I'll just try to remember the password, and if I can't, I'll ask someone to help me ".

Assuming the "someone" is the forgot password feature and not a person, this seems like a sound approach. It's basically using the site itself as a slightly clunky password manager.
