This is the first suggestion here that's actually within the technical abilities of most people, even most Lemmy users.

The level of technical knowledge some of people here seem to think the general public has is absurd.

If getting a Dropbox account is too difficult for them, I seriously wonder why they'd be subscribed here, or reading articles about password management in browsers.

Because I'm interested in tech news, especially since the world we live in can't function without it.

Besides, Lemmy seems to seriously overestimate the technical abilities of, well, most people.

I'm usually the one promoting technical literacy to all but in this case I honestly don't use a password manager.

It's honestly seemed like more trouble than it's worth, there's a few websites where I just reset my password every time.
