Any company that still insists on forced password resets and frequent changes needs to learn about Social Engineering and Human Factors. (yiffit.net)

These are the same companies that don't support second factors, only have their app as a second factor, or only SMS second factor. Is it too much to ask for smart card or token (yubikey) support?

You can use the manager on your phone to display the password you're having a hard time remembering sonyou can manually type it in, while still keeping it stored securely instead of just a plain text note on your phone.

You can also login to your password manager via web browser to copy/paste between it and login pages. Wouldn't be my choice, but it's an option. (not gonna enter my password vaults details on a work computer unless that vault only contains work logins.)
