Hit 30 random password resets in one week, finally stopped ignoring my password manager

After my third lockout at a client site in Jacksonville, I actually counted the resets in my phone log and realized I was wasting more time on that than on payroll, so I spent 20 minutes setting up the manager and now I'm wondering why I fought it for two years, anyone else have that moment where the math finally got too embarrassing to ignore?

Man, I hear you loud and clear. I had the same wake-up call when I got locked out of my bank account at 9 PM on a Sunday because I fat-fingered a password change. The next day I sat down with a cup of coffee and just moved everything over, took about half an hour. Now I feel like a fool for all those years of writing passwords on sticky notes under my keyboard at the office. It’s one of those things where you don’t realize how much mental energy you waste until it’s gone.

Honestly, used to think password managers were overkill, but your story just flipped my thinking.
