[QUOTE="Cr00zng, post: 1838969, member: 318059"] Guessing the password isn't that easy. Any semi-security conscious system should have a password policy and lock the account, after x number of tries. The "passwords are the big problem/weakness on the web" is correct, but not the end user's side. It is on the authentication servers' side, that gets exploited and the hackers download the authentication database. In which case, does it really matter, if your password is "123456" or "94OTyvq81}0K"? Spoiler, it does not... I do trust password manager with local database, that does not have cloud feature. Remembering 40+ password is a pain and impossible, at least for me. I do recall password that used on the daily basis, but others that used seldomly trips me up all the times. That's where the local password manager comes handy... [/QUOTE]
