Just cleared 100 unique passwords in my manager and it hit me

I was checking my vault after setting up a new account for my kid's school portal, and the count hit 101. Back in 2010, I used the same password for everything, even my bank. What's the biggest number of logins you've seen someone actually manage without a password manager?

Remember that guy who used a notebook? My buddy's dad had this little black book filled with logins, maybe 150 sites. He'd flip through it like a phone book every time Netflix asked him to sign in again. How do you even keep that current when a site changes its password rules?

My friend's dad just scribbled over the old ones.

Got a buddy whose dad did the same thing, just crossed out old passwords in a notebook and wrote the new ones right on top. Made me think of what @piper_burns said. I tried to get my own dad to use a password manager but he just printed out a list and taped it inside a kitchen cabinet. At least it's off his desk now. Some folks just really need to touch the paper, you know?
