I'm actually more annoyed by having to pick passwords than confirming my email.

I'm opposite. If my email goes down, or I do not have access to it, I cannot login. With passwords I still can.

My email is with Google. They are less likely to go down than my password manager.

Until one day your Google account gets locked with an automatically generated message that you violated an unspecified rule. Good luck getting contact to a human support.

Well then you need a better password manager. Like a .kdbx file which is ~100% available, given enough copies I guess.

Then what’s the point of it all? Just use Google login.

Yes, that's what I'm doing, when it's available.
But it's not always an option, so a password manager is still a good idea.

Doesn't your password manager take care of that?

It does. But I haven't properly synced it across all my devices, yet. I know, my fault.

when in a rush I will put in gibberish instead going through the pw manager steps and rely on resetting the pw at a later time

Picking passwords is a job best left to password managers. You don't use a hand crank when riding an elevator, do you?

Use a password manager to autogenerate them?
