@mike805 @lichendust

This is a much bigger #productivity question. I tag my tasks in my To-do list with "resource_internet" (yeah, sounds very 1990's). But Im working my way through the discipline of cutting through the shit thats thrown at us by today's internet! Im the target rabbit for every rabbit hole out there!

@viharm @lichendust I do some user support and login/password issues are one of the most common. Neither password managers nor SSO solve it.

People with password managers, do not know their passwords and cannot type them when they need to. They are helpless without the plugin. My encrypted text file does not have that problem.

SSO sort of works but the user changes their password and now has to re-login to mail, edit database connections in Navicat, update app passwords in Thunderbird, etc.1/2

@viharm @lichendust Google actually punishes responsible password policies in that changing one's Gmail password invalidates all the app passwords. If you had K-9 on a phone or Thunderbird on a PC you have to re-enter those.

Very often users get locked out of their databases and I have to remote and fix it.

They can even lock me out because my account is on their machine for support. If they try and fail to login as me by accident, my account gets locked and I have to fix it. 2/2
