Anyone has idea why Randall keeps ignoring existence of password managers?

I have to say, I'm not aware of anyone who thinks hacking is as Randall describes. I would have thought that most people would mistakenly think hacking is about typing complex green code onto a screen until a message pops up saying "ACCESS GRANTED".

:Well, some people put a lot of emphasis of never to write a password down, to prevent insider attacks. This leads to people reusing passwords, which leads to the much bigger risk as displayed here. So this comic is in line with [[936: Password Strength]] to keep superstition out of password policies and the attached mindsets of users. (Especially the combination of using long complex passwords, as in 936, and to never write them down would lead people to reuse them a lot.). Randall here mocks, that insider threats are only a threat with insiders (family, friends, coworkers, etc. unless you work (or use your device) in a public place, while the much bigger threat for everyone is anonymous hackers going for quantity. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 13:43, 16 July 2019 (UTC) | :Well, some people put a lot of emphasis of never to write a password down, to prevent insider attacks.
