Zero for me. No Netflix or anything here, I'm not into subscription based services.

But if you do have subscription based services, what might be the better ones out there?

You must not be using very strong passwords, then... Or somehow only have a few accounts.

But given that every site out there requires an account to use these days that sounds dubious

I memorized π to 50 decimal places and also the alphabet backwards at age 10. Neither are my passwords BTW, but yeah my passwords can be and indeed are cumbersome. But the harder it is to spell, the easier it is for me to remember, oddly enough.

Once upon a time my password was my Windows 98 product key, 25 otherwise random characters. Yes that password has long since been retired.

I have around 600 entries in my password manager for accounts created since the 2000's till today. Following best security practices all entries should have different random passwords between them. Pretty sure any normal human being wouldn't remember them all.

I don't trust password managers from the start, it feels like sticking your password on a post-it note on your screen and hoping nobody else sees it.

The only difference is waiting to see if hackers manage to hack your password manager, then they have all the keys...
