So my reaction to password managers is, why the FUCK am I going to be giving this random ass service all my passwords? That's just asking for trouble.

My philosophy towards password managers is this:Because your passwords are encrypted with an end to end encryption. The password manager companies can't see your passwords. You should look up how password manager security works.
Rule #1-infinite: Don't share your password with anyone.

Federal Government recommendation is that it's okay to use a password manager for your own passwords, but definitely do NOT use one for any government passwords. That should tell you something.Source? I have not seen where the NIST recommends that.

I like that I can also have it on my phone to autofill my logins when I need.
This is the main thing I was wondering about and you just answered it. Ideally I'd like to have the "c*2jna218@ma!(nd2*3A" type of random passwords but there's no god damn way I would remember them. And if I had to look on my PC any time I wanted to log into something on my phone I wouldn't do this because that would annoy the piss out of me.IIRC, something like "ljlg2@2#Rja6&" is less secure than a password like "1 Water Pumpkin Railroad Track"
IIRC, something like "ljlg2@2#Rja6&" is less secure than a password like "1 Water Pumpkin Railroad Track"1Password password generator can create passwords in both formats which is a really nice feature.
IIRC, something like "ljlg2@2#Rja6&" is less secure than a password like "1 Water Pumpkin Railroad Track"it's the length of the password that matters most. Even something like 64 w's in a row followed by the word elephant is way stronger than those examples. But not all websites/apps allow an unlimited amount of characters for a password. There are still some sites in 2024 that limit you to like 12-16 characters. So in those cases, ljlg2@2#Rja6& is the best option.
Because your passwords are encrypted with an end to end encryption. The password manager companies can't see your passwords. You should look up how password manager security works.And just like any sealed vault, it's completely impregnable. Until it isn't.
