      One one hand, password manager is useful to log-in into random ass web service which i use once a year to get one random file or whatever and forget.

      On the other hand, i need to authenticate every time i use my computer, and i need to just know the password, not pasting it from password manager every time.

        Most password managers stay open for a configurable amount of time, plus you can use hardware tokens for more convenient/secure unlocking. And having to remember the master password without it being stored anywhere but your brain is kinda the whole point

            Yo dawg you got good memory. I can remember a lot of things but passwords aren’t one. When I had to make a GSA level password, after trying for two hours to make one. I gave up, mashed some shit in and wrote it on a piece of paper. I could be tortured and all I can say here are all the restrictions and try to make one yourself.
