It becomes tricky when all your passwords are randomly generated, 24 characters long, full of symbols, special characters, casing variations, etc. All of mine are an absolute nightmare to type manually. I suppose that becomes a pretty strong argument for passphrases + MFA, because passphrases are much easier to type in manually. But the problem there is lots of services still have stupid/arbitrary maximum password length restrictions that make it difficult or impossible to use a sufficiently complex passphrase. It’s very frustrating.
