Do you invent a completely unique password for every account you make? I get that a password manager will help you remember them but even coming up with new passwords is hard at this point.
That’s true but I’d rather have a password I can type out within 10 seconds. The ones generated by bitwarden are just a bunch of random characters, which is definitely very secure, but also incredibly inconvenient.
There is absolutely a workaround to use Bitwarden nearly everywhere (except for your computer login or your phone PIN, but you probably have biometrics for that anyways).
By default it has a means of generating unique passwords for every account I make. Not only that but in your saved passwords it will highlight the ones that share a password so you can go there and change the passwords.
You have to make a Firefox account so that you can sync it across all of your devices but it works great for me on multiple PCs and my phone.
Or they didn’t only use it for bitwarden…
Get bitwarden, use same password for everything even bitwarden itself. Now that is giga brained.
If the password is used in more than 1 place, it’s not a secure password.

Yes.
But Bitwarden generates them for me. So I remember my Bitwarden password and that’s about it

Bitwarden supports generating xkcd style passphrases
Just use the browser extension to auto fill those passwords. I really don’t understand how it’s in any way inconvenient.
Well sometimes I’m using my phone to log in, or someone else’s device, or my university’s computer. I can’t use bitwarden everywhere.

sure but remembering a memorable but still secure password is still easier than having to open bitwarden all the time
Bitwarden fills them in for me, so no problem at all. Or I can copy/paste it
Except like when I get a new phone, but that’s only like once every 2 years
Yes, I use Firefox to do so

One of the many perks of Firefox honestly
So what if you have to log in on someone else’s device? Even if they use firefox, your passwords won’t be synced. How are you going to remember them?
I don’t login to my accounts on other people’s device’s
That’s a security concern and I take my privacy seriously
really depends what kind of account
