Please don't. I saw Demolition Man.

Just let Password Managers do their job easily.

The problem isn't folks like us that use password managers. The problem is all the other folks that have the same 8 character password they reuse across all their services.

Regular people also have their phones stolen, lost, damaged or bricked on a regular basis. I suspect passwords will remain as a backup mechanism for a while.

Also funnily enough most recovery mechanisms are tied to that same phone... And then what happens when they don't update their device every 2 years like good consumers and there is some massive vulnerability...

So please stop bothering the people who did the right thing by setting up a password manager!

There's an easy way to make passwords usable only by people with password managers: instead of letting the user set a password, generate it for them.

What about Demolition Man are you referring to?
