  • Ok but consider this:

    Keepass requires to type a master log in, and is therefore a password I don’t care to remember, and would add to my excel password sheet, defeating the purpose of keepass in the first place.

    I don’t think you understand the amount of apathy the average worker has for their company.

    I use keepass at home, and set it to use a password and a key file because I actually care.

    I genuinely don’t care if someone hacks into my office account to do… Whatever. Worst that can happen to me is getting sent to some on the clock cybersecurity awareness program where I’ll be nodding off on my chair doing no work while an IT nerd rambles on about… Whatever it is they ramble about in these things, I never paid attention.



  • People aren’t lazy, we just don’t give a shit about cybersecurity, it’s not as big of a deal as IT makes it.

    I use an Excel worksheet for my passwords.

    At my workplace, I need to use a dozen different webapps/VMs, some of them only like once every 2 months.

    For some reason, each fucking app requires different password combinations with different rules, and their all have different password change times.

    I ain’t remembering all that.

    I used to keep a notepad with all my passwords in my desk drawer but I occasionally remote login on my machine nowadays, so I have a passwords.xls file on my desk. It’s even got some formulas that warns me when one is about to expire and needs to be changed, I put some effort into it.
