Nostr Web Client

I was in my English class few days ago. and as a part of free conversation I ask teacher and other students (4 in total including me) if they use a password manager. No one do. One of them is a csharp programmer. and BTW they all said they were confident in the passwords they kept in their heads. So am I in a bubble thinking that password managers is a must?

As long as you don't use shitty (often cloud hosted) password managers, I'd say it's a no brainer to use one.

Assuming the master password for the pw manager is not shitty and the access can't be reset by insecure means.

Had a family member use a cloud hosted pw manager where access could be gained by an SMS based reset token, not exactly secure.

Keepass or keepassxc, they both save to a local encrypted file.

Requires you to make backups of the file regularly and of you lose the password you're fucked. If she can live with that :)
