How do you force password manager usage?

Technically or socially? The second one is hard, the first one can be done easily - just require the passwords to be 14/16+ characters, multiple symbol domains and calculate tempo of input. Slower than 350ms between keystrokes - error message. Those who can type that fast already are using pw manager or you can just skip this 0.001%.

  • Doing that will certainly get people to use a password manager.

    But it doesn't say which password manager.

    The most popular password manager is some text/word/excel document on the desktop.

    • I have no evidence to back this hypothesis, but I wonder if that’s still more secure than using bad passwords.
