These UK rules also ban manufacturers from having weak, easily guessable default passwords such as 'admin' or '12345'. If there is a common password on a device, users will be advised to change it when they first use their smart device.

I use a password manager and never use the same password on the sites I visit.

Do you use a password manager too?

I don't use a password manager, but I keep a spreadsheet and I even have a mini password book that I take with when I travel. It makes it convenient in case something happens to me and family needs to get into something.

I don't use a password manager. But I don't know my passwords either. I use a pattern on my keyboard. So, I would have to look at a keyboard and follow my pattern to be able to tell what the password is. I use a different pattern for different sites, all I have to remember is the first letter.
