It will fail.  Why?  Each fucking site has different rules for password
creation.  I ran into that when I started using a scheme that was easy to
remember/type and unique for all sites.

BTW it mentions 100 passwords.  What planet is he living on?  I be we all
have at least 400, 300 of which we don't even know we have.  I've been on
the net since it started and have more sites that I can name.  Indeed, I
started using 1Passward last year just to collect slowly over time all my
logins.  I'm at 150 now and during the christmas season I discover many
that I have because I bought a gift!  QVC for heavens sake!

Look: this whole PW thing HAS to be simplified.  Yes we all have schemes
for managing logins. But they have lots of failure cases.  2-factor isn't
too bad but is a pain at times, especially when you change hardware that
you'd like to be "trusted".  And the billions of different rules for
passwords for given sites is horrid.

I think a combo of a simple set of passwords and 2-factor may become my
standard, especially with OAuth allowing logging in with Google and others
that support 2-factor.

My brain is too small.
