I know competent adults whose login flow for most websites is “forgot password.” Might be better off writing your passwords on post it notes at that point.

I've seen a few sites where the login flow is simply entering your email address and you get a time-limited login link sent to you. You never create any password at all. I was skeptical at first but I've found it seems to work pretty decently.

Whenever some website asks me to use specific weird characters in my password. I have to write it down on a post-it note and put it in the top drawer of my desk.

The irony is that the websites which require such passwords are often low-importance.
