I’ve asked this on Twitter before but let’s also try it here in the hope to reach more people outside of the #infosec bubble.

Do you use a password manager?

For the people that answer no, also interested to know why. Is it because you don’t trust it, or rather because you don’t know how to use it, or…?

@j_opdenakker I started using passwords before password managers existed, and never changed my habits. Also across multiple devices such as computers, phones, TVs, etc, I'd have to install the manager everywhere.

I tend to use very obscure passwords, such as initials of phrases that only mean something to me and, more recently, much longer passwords that are chains of words (correct horse battery staple).

I also reuse passwords regularly, which I know a lot of people frown on.
