I had a what the heck moment after reading the first line. It's so
ridiculous, you almost have to think you're misunderstanding something. I

I type my 3-5 different passwords (collectively, not individually) as many
as 200 times a day.
I'm a fast typist (relatively speaking, at ~45wpm, or ~225cpm). Long
passwords that are easy to remember and easy to type (not too many oddball
characters, but definitely a few) work much better for me.
The overall answer is that eventually passwords have to go and other forms of
