I don’t like password managers. They make logging into things take forever. 
Also, I haven’t found one for Mac that I like.

I was first talking about my password when setting it up. It doesn’t matter if 
it is customer facing or my admin password, I should be able to choose my level 
of security. An 8 character password is secure enough for me and my small 
organization. 

But customer passwords certainly need to be easier and more relaxed. 

Thank you,
Brett A Mansfield
