It's good for people who don't trust, can't or don't want to use password managers. It's also way simpler for a regular person (who'd otherwise write the password down anyway) while still being quite secure.
It'd also be great for choosing your password manager master password without risking that you forget it and without writing it down outright.
I like it, clever and practical.
one of my good friends, reuses the same simple, short, password on everything.... her facebook got compromised and she STILL wont change her password.... its maddening.
I'm thinking of trying to get her to use a password manager, or at least a card like this....
Hardware security key might be better.
I would also add that I like the mobility of not needing to log in somehow to access my passwords. If I am on a friend’s computer, for instance, all I need to do is visit a website with my current password generator.
