Oh for fucks sake, why do people want to make using passwords so difficult?

No I don't want to memorize a unique string of random gibberish for every new thing I log in to

No I don't want to use your shitty password manager with its half-baked integrations that leave me hanging 30% of the time

No I don't want to come up with special variants of the passwords I know because you have some stupid complexity requirement

Nearly every attack short of actually knowing the password can be mitigated with 2FA, proper hashing+salting, thoughtful lockout policies, and rate limiting.

Why are there so many people who want security to suck so much?
