Easy to forget login, easy to forget passwd, easy to forget what passwd is attached to some login. Not to mention that nowadays most services ask some second and third factors like email which has 2 passwds, phone which may be lost, docs which may be unwanted to demonstrate. Modern cryptography may solve it if webmasters really want it (but for some reason they prefer to collect as much as possible).

These all sound like convenience factors. I don't see why my identity with one provider has to be tied with my identity from another provider at all. Having a crypto wallet (for this purpose) is just certificates with extra steps (quite literally, as it's cryptography).

All solved by a password manager.

And being bond to some database? That is... not for everyone.

Password manager is good if it is planned to share all my passwords after my death with my family, for not gifting my funds to some random guys. In every other cases it sucks like Sasha Grey (from my lifestyle's point of view which involves heavy use of random devices most of them even does not support any passwd mngr).

It doesn't for basically everything I do, and I have a lot of systems, subscriptions, and profiles to worry about.

In the simplest case, 2 things are needed to support a password manager: Network access, and copy-paste.

All of my mobile devices doesn't really support JS so I can not even input my HN's password to there without a PC.

Also I do not believe all of my e-mails which has some accounts with some values on it are still working. At least one time I had to re-register e-mail exactly as previous to withdraw some of my funds which were untouchable for few years :-) So the biggest part of problem is not on user's sides of wire and I have already tired to struggle to formulate such a simple thing using such a lot of sentences.

network access itself is not necessary foe using various password managers, though of course for the majority of uae cases you'll require it anyway. But if you e.g. have a journal that is encrypted, you only need copy-paste.
