To 90% of my online accounts I just do the reset password flow every time I need to log in.
Most accounts I use a few times a year I don't care for the overhead of remembering of dealing with a password manager to save me a few minutes every year.

Yeah, it costs a bit and requires some understanding, but at least among the HN crowd that's not an unsolvable problem.
Lot's of people seem to be concerned over the "single point of failure" that provides, but honestly for most of these accounts if I lost access to them, then I'll just make another. Heck my username is admax88q because I forgot/lost the password to admax88.
I really don't care if worst case I have to make new accounts for Newegg/Aliexpress/Amazon/Medium/reddit/HN/twitch/dailymotion/(insert random startup app I'll probably only try once)
I do agree that it's inconvenient to have to switch to another tab/window whenever you want to log in though, this is a problem solved with password manager browser extensions.
