    Oh it absolutely helps. Because if you’re using a password manager then every account you have should have a different password.

    Most people who don’t use them just use the same password or a variation thereof for everything, making a leak much more devastating.

      You using a password manager does not solve that this org stores your password in plain text and will email it to whatever’s on file when ANYONE clicks the forgot password button.

      I hate passkeys, but I understand that without a password manager, they’re probably the best option. And for some god forsaken reason, like you said, most people just don’t use a password manager. I can’t even get my wife to use one, and I’ve shown her how easy it is.
