    I don’t understand people who won’t embrace password managers. I don’t know my password. It’s as long as can be and different everywhere.

    Though my work won’t let us use biometrics to sign into our work laptops for some reason. So as a workaround I have my own keyboard that I created a macro for such that if I hit a certain key combo it types my login for me. Secure? No. But if someone knew to even check that (extremely unlikely) and then actually stole my keyboard to do so then I have much bigger problems than whatever lame shit they think they’re gonna get on my work laptop. Also I take the keyboard home every day.

      I simply don’t want to have all my eggs in one basket.

      If that password manager gets corrupted/compromised/cracked or otherwise becomes unavailable it totally screws me

        I don’t see how the thinkpad fingerprint readers are any more or less secure than the four digit pins we can use instead
