The thing that makes it worth it to me is long, randomly generated passwords that I don’t have to know.
None of the sites and services I use require me to type out a password thanks to browser integration and auto type (for desktop apps and such), along with autofill service on android.
Then along with that I can even store other things like account recovery codes (for 2fa) or security questions (which also get randomly generated answers)… It’s a handy thing to have IMHO
If getting a Dropbox account is too difficult for them, I seriously wonder why they’d be subscribed here, or reading articles about password management in browsers.
This is the first suggestion here that’s actually within the technical abilities of most people, even most Lemmy users.
The level of technical knowledge some of people here seem to think the general public has is absurd.
I’m usually the one promoting technical literacy to all but in this case I honestly don’t use a password manager.
It’s honestly seemed like more trouble than it’s worth, there’s a few websites where I just reset my password every time.
