Password managers aren't always safer than memory. Here's why.
I hear everyone pushing LastPass or Bitwarden like crazy. But I had a coworker at the hospital lose everything when his manager got hacked. All his accounts, gone in one breach. I keep 15 different passwords in my head. Use patterns only I know. Never written down. Been doing it 8 years now. No issues. Anyone else think we rely too much on these apps?

15 passwords in your head is just asking for a stroke or a concussion to lock you out of everything forever.

The memory method is great until you have that one moment where you forget if your bank account uses "Summer2021!" or "Summer2021?". @ericb66 makes a fair point about concussions though, I hit my head once and suddenly couldn't remember my own dog's name for three hours. Probably safer to just trust the apps and keep a backup somewhere boring like a locked desk drawer.
