Hot take: password managers are OVERRATED for most people

I used Bitwarden for 6 months and it worked fine, but then I realized my mom couldn't figure out how to use it and nearly got locked out of her bank account. I'm starting to think a notebook in your desk drawer is safer than handing all your keys to one app. Anyone else ditch theirs for something simpler?

Wrote my master password on a sticky note and stuck it to my monitor like an idiot. Then I forgot where I put the note. Spent an hour digging through trash before I found it crumpled up next to an old coffee cup. Some of us just aren't built for this level of organization.

Oh man, my buddy Jeff tried LastPass for about a week. He was so proud he finally got everything organized until his phone died and he couldn't remember his master password or backup codes. Took him three days and a call to his bank to get back into his accounts. Now he keeps a little spiral notebook in his kitchen drawer with passwords written in codes nobody would ever figure out.
