Recently, I've been finding the world of passwords suddenly got more confusing. Way back I (most of us, I suspect) used easy passwords and, for unimportant sites, the same old password.
That was sloppy and we were warned about 20 separate uses of the same password. Helped by the Apple Keychain facility or the equivalent Windows password help we all behaved ourselves properly. Registering at a brand new site, you suggested a user name and Macos presented you with / suggested a very secure password. You just said OK and you could rely on logging onto the new site with no bother for ever and remembering nothing.
I used Safari for years, but then switched to Chrome and some of the google Office apps which meant a group of us could develop club admin. I now find that there I have ended up with two password managing systems and I can't predict which one will do the business.
There are Apple PF members so what do you all do? My excuse is that I am a definite Old Dog and I have an excuse about New Tricks.
Once I get a good answer to this one, perhaps someone could help me with these new fangled Passkeys . . . .
