Tulsi Gabbard Reused the Same Weak Password on Multiple Accounts for Years

I totally have unique passwords for all my hundreds of accounts around the internet.
-
This reads as sarcastic to me, but I and many others legitimately do, through the use of a password manager. I have an encrypted database that syncs between my phone, laptop, and a vps, and I occasionally manually back up to a free email account. I only need to remember the one password to unlock the db.

What I’m saying is that I don’t criticize others for something I do myself - that would be hypocritical.
-
Being hypocritical reflects bad on you. But that does not mean it is bad advice.

The standard user cannot comprehend that Bitwarden is less than $1 a month and totally worth every cent.
-
Or that keepass is free and you can use any number of sync methods

Having used KeePass for a few years, syncing via a self-hosted SFTP server, I can't recommend it for most people.
- It's too technical, especially if you want sync, but even if you don't
- Apps on different platforms don't quite agree with each other in all ways, making syncing a bit annoying (particularly: how to associate a login with multiple URLs)
- It can be hard to pick which app to use on each platform, other than Windows, because there's no official/canonical best option (Mono has lots of drawbacks)
I've switched to Bitwarden and I'm sticking with it.
