Currently being punished for never setting up my pnc account online when they mailed me the info over 3 years ago when they switched sites. On hold and should be answered within 10 minutes.
Love keepass though I had a heck of a time saving everything to transfer it to the new laptop. Part of that was user error though since I accidentally deleted it before I had saved or something and just had problems.
Just a little tangent to the "simplicity" discussion.
Those of you worried or frustrated by your various logins should look into a password manager, such as LastPass or Dashlane (both commercial products with free versions), or KeePass if you prefer open source. Without intending to sound too dramatic, it greatly improves your life. You remember one password, you password manager remembers the rest.
I realize that your phone likely has some kind of password manager, but a third-party manager will sync across all of your devices and computers. Though the iOS manager is getting much better, it still pales in comparison, in my opinion.
The upside to using it is that you can have super-strong, randomized passwords for ALL of your sites because you don't have to remember them, or ever even see them. Start small and try it with just a few sites for a week or so.
And for that one password you do have to remember, do yourself a favor and use a five- or six-word pass phrase. Easy to remember, and very, very strong.
