What you will see is passkeys being used. These after they are installed, you won't have to login manually anymore. Passkeys are much more secure. Both Google and Microsoft use passkeys now. I have a couple of other sites that allow you to use both, but they plan on passkeys only in a couple of years.

With so strict rules for password it may be that there is only one possible password.

It’s only 35 miles for you. I drive 55 (one way) for pizza to my old hometown.

If you use passkeys rather than passwords, then physical security is more important for your computer. Denying physical access to unauthorized people.

If it's Harold's in Edison, it's 84 miles for me. I'll have to come with a good excuse to try them. They and Vic's sound like they're worth the trip

Sorry Jimmy! I must have entered a wrong location for you. It’s worth the trip. I love to drive (not in traffic)

Dear Mr Weiss: I never heard of this delicatessen. It looks like I’ll be making a trip from my house in Brooklyn to friends in Picklestainia. That is Pennsylvania. If the pastrami is not the real deal, you’ll hear it from me!

It is so hard to find a good delicatessen. More often, it is so hard to find good pastrami. Most people like corned beef but hate pastrami because it is smoked. Well, it should be but people think the brine and pepper corns make it what it is. Nope!

I use the password manager, RoboForm, on my desktop and iPhone. Yes, I occasionally still get 2FA, but copying and pasting makes that easier. I'm not overly concerned about "security", I'm too old! In 50+ years of computer usage, I've had two scams on Craig's list due to my naivety and two incidents with credit cards (made up by CC company). I do realize the current scene is much worse now, but worrying about it, in my mind, solves nothing. I take precautions, but I'm not in fear of a scam or other type "invasions"! Most of my "bills" are paid automatically online. I have very few that require paying online via my banks "bill pay service". I never mail a payment. I don't keep records on Quicken anymore. I stopped doing that 10 years ago. I don't even keep a checkbook. The bank(s) have never made an arithmetic error. It takes seconds to see my checking account balance. All my income is deposited in my bank online. Very occasionally, either my wife or I makes a trip to our bank to get cash out of our account.

Worrying accomplishes two things. 1. One gets older while worrying. 2. One gets to worry.

We keep it simple and try to enjoy each day.
Stay happy and well!!

I went from RoboForm (stopped working) to LastPass (got hacked) to Bitwarden. Unfortunately, no "filler" fills in all the info all the time. That's why I keep eight pages of passwords on my computer.

I also find it more than annoying. Google constantly asks me to sign in, I often do not because then google asks for a two step authentication sending an email or a text code, requiring me to go get my cell phone. A slow process. I use one 1password, ($100 a year) so my passwords are protected and intricate and easily access with my cell phone iPad, or desktops. I can justify this I’m still in business.

Just curious. I’ve used RoboForm for 10+ years with very few issues. A couple of times I did have to fill out a ticket for support. Usually the issue was resolved in one day. Did you ever use their support system?

No, I never tried their support. From my experience, "support" exists in name only. If I can't find the solution online, I move on.
