If you create some new account on mobile, the workflow is messy. If you are on schedule like ordering a ticket, you just quickly try to get the job done.

You need to know the specific order how to create the password for a new site. Otherwise it was just easier to plow through with your favourite memorised combination.

At least I found it hard to do with Lastpass on mobile. Now I’ve tested it with Bitwarden and 1Password 8, they seem to do a better job with it.

At least in my case, the first time I used a password manager it learned my existing ones from my browser, and many of those were non-random. From that point forward I used generated passwords, but I'm sure I still have hundreds of legacy ones that I didn't bother to go and change because the sites didn't matter that much to me.

this would bite me in the worst possible moment when i need to login to somewhere and i lost my phone/battery dead/company hacked/etc.

i have been using keepass(xc) since it's been around and i dont use random passwords. every year i create a formula that creates all my passwords and i put these in the vault. it also enforces password rotation. losing the vault i can still come up with any of my psswords just by remembering the formula.

for company server services it's a different story, i generate wholly random strong passwords and store them in the offline vault.
