    'The wind keeps blowing my wifi signal away ’ is more than enough information to diagnose the problem, and ‘the computer forgot my password’ is now a real thing since password managers started coming baked into browsers.

    We are so far beyond parody of ourselves that i have no idea how the onion stays in business.

        It doesn’t help that most password managers kind of suck, you have to do a lot of manual work as a user sometimes.

        I wish websites would start supporting Webauthn/FIDO2 sometime soon. I’m sick of SMS-based 2FA becoming more popular lately (like 10 years late).

              …its just a password to access a list of passwords.

              Unless you never thought of, implemented, regularly did and regularly tested your backup of the database. Or… try to use it on more than one device - maybe even at the same time.

              That’s the main problem with KeePass. It’s nice to have it offline, fully under your control and out of the cloud, but that comes with some responsibilities on your end. And now think of how the average user solves this. If you’re tech savvy enough, KeePass is great!

                You technically only need it on one device if you don’t want to be able to copy/paste or use the autotype feature. Which works fine until you lose or break that one device or upgrade to a new one and forgot you needed to transfer your passwords or delete your database because you didn’t remember what it was and wanted to free up space.

                And Bitwarden has scary things like “self-hosting”.
