I think that it’s still such an issue communicating why this whole process is necessary for someone to follow. At that point, if you can get around that, then I think that you’re already doing very well… Better than the majority of users out there, unfortunately. That is - at a very low level - your encryption key to decrypt your content, no matter where it’s stored, whether it’s locally or in a cloud service like 1Password is hosting. One password which you explicitly should not use anywhere else for that exact reason, that it’s super-valuable it should be very personal, it should probably be written down and stored somewhere in case you have a lapse of memory, but… Basically, it should not be shared with anyone or any other service. The whole idea of a master password, for lack of a better… One key to the kingdom, basically. So I’m on iOS, I’m on macOS, they have their keychain and they have their password generators, and I have been using them ever since they came out, which is probably only four or five years, I’m not sure exactly when that all launched… But before then, I used to have levels of passwords - my low-security password, that I’d use on sites I didn’t care about very much, then I had my high-security passwords, which I would use on things like email accounts, on things like bank accounts… I probably still have some of those floating around out there, but for the most part I do use a high-security fresh password on every website, and I just use Apple’s built-in stuff, which works pretty well, and it completely falls apart when it comes to sharing and teams and those kinds of things, which we’ll probably get into… Because that’s where things get really complicated, like “How do we share–” I do use Apple’s password management inside of macOS. When you said “every account” there, I flinched a little bit, because I had to think, “Okay, EVERY account…?” I used to have a series of passwords that were phrases they were good passwords, but they were based on a system I came up with… I’m a nerd, so I’m developing my own internal systems in my brain, and generating versions… Sometimes it used to be based on the domain name, blah-blah-blah.
