How??
it is easy to have 1500+ passwords, I'm online since 1996 :-) and use a password manager like keepass, some sites died, others are still online, i have multiple mailbox, twitter, facebook. it goes up really fast!
not counting also all SSO with google, apple, and now my own pocketid selfhosted domain :-)
I will have to remove also those 50+ google authentificator TOTP and replace them with passkeys....
BTW, it is recommended to use single password per service sinces more than 20 years now, so without a password manager it is impossible to create new accounts. i started in firefox, then chrome password manager, then keepassX ....
1400 fucking accounts! My mind cannot comprehend that number.
This is... completely normal amount of accounts? I am at 1083 saved in my password manager. Admittedly it's a bit inflated with things like crypto wallets and few dozen passwords for 192.168.1.1 for every router I ever saw. But then, I also been on account deletion spree for a year now and been avoiding making new accounts if at all possible, otherwise I'd easily be over 1500
