   The problem is lots of people have no good way to remember passwords.   
      
   What I do, for example, is:   
   1. I store passwords in a cross-platform encrypted desktop manager   
      (KeepassXC)   
      
   2. I sync the kdbx database periodically keeping the master on the PC.   
      Note that my passwords almost never are changed on a mobile device.   
      
   3. Every platform has a free program to read that kdbx file, I think.   
      For example, Windows, Linux & macOS can use the KeepassXC passwd mgr.   
         
      
      Android uses, for example, Keepass2Android, but others exist.   
         
      
      iOS uses KeePassium for example, but others also likely exist.   
         
      
   Each time I'm forced to create a login/passwd combination, I type "vipw"   
   which, on Windows, has for decades, brought up the native password manager.   
      
   Each time I need a login/password, I also type "vipw" into Windows, and up   
   comes that same password manager, with the sort order usually set to LIFO.   
      
   But how many people do that?
