Yes that's definitely a concern to keep in mind.
The problem is that if someone doesn't use a password manager they're morenlikely to reuse weak ones.
Using a password manager is a better path, as long as there is awareness on how to keep it secured.
I use the same password for every site, but I put the name of the site at the end of the password.
For example:
NotmypassB3ta.
NotmypassGoogle.
NotnypassLemmy. Etc.
I figure it might stop the most lazy of attacks.
That sounds not ya I'm sure it stops a , as long as the actual password is also strong. IMO there's still some vulnerability. If someone finds out your password and notices thepattern 'pass+Site', then they mighttryyon another site.
Also why it's a good idea to have a few emails yo use across multiple sites.
I had something similar but ran into issues with sites requiring specific symbols, disallowing certain symbols and limiting lengths or similar
That annoys me so much. Especially when the randomly generated line noise password I'm using doesn't happen to include one of the three punctuation characters they need to be "secure".
I can't wait till passkeys are predominant
