minus-squareM0oP0o@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down5·edit-21 year agoWhy is this being downvoted? As long as the paper is not easy to access then in all ways this is better then software. Sorry but “as a Software Engineer” every solution must be software is the vibe I am getting.
minus-squareMetallibus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year ago As long as the paper is not easy to access then in all ways this is better then software. You have to log into a website. Enter the password from the sheet of paper. Now log in again with a password manager that has autofill. Paper is not better in “all ways” and that’s why this thread is being downvoted.
