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.
