It’s time to think differently about how we address the password problem.

    id go a step further and it should be a browser that does it

      Firefox has some kind of password manager that generates long random strings so the only one you have to remember is the one to the browser itself.

      I've never used it, but I think about it every time I'm on a website trying password, password1, password123, PassWord123, etc

        yeah but should probably be a default action

        also stuff like google auth is very nice except the fact that its google. means a website doesnt have to worry about security as much

        This is also a feature in Safairi, but better yet is using a password manager like Bitwarden

        Especially when I have to go into their settings every odd quarter to turn off whatever it is that keeps trying to memorize and autofill my password entries after the latest update.

        FF Sync encrypts everything at rest on your devices with your passphrase, and that never leaves your devices unencrypted.

        seems a lot better than most cloud pwd managers in that way

        I guess they could all be stored encrypted and then when you want to use autofill you need to use the master password. That would make it much safer
