> few very technical people use password managers, long passwords, etc

I'd be very surprised if this was true. Most all technical (competent) people I know use a pw manager of some sort

It originally said "a few", not "few", which was intended to have a slightly different meaning, but I've edited it to remove that because you're right and it's not important :)

Unfortunately non-technical people mostly don't use a password manager and we can't assume they do. Tailscale is about making the Internet secure by default, and passwords will never be secure by default.

I know only myself and one other person using a password manager, even though I know a lot of technical folks.
