Ask HN: I have 176 logins/accounts. How many do you have?

Here is a screenshot of my Bitwarden: https://imgur.com/a/UdG7Inb

They include some really important things such as:

Health insurance G-Suite for work Bill.com (which I use to get paid) IRS.gov (which I use to get un-paid) UK Companies House Register Interactive Brokers My bank

Obviously, anything with OAuth is "bundled" into my Google account. So if anything this is a huge underestimate.

I'm asking because of how insane auth has become. I know companies like OnePassword and Bitwarden are working on this and overall they do a great job. But I still have a near-stroke every time I have to do the "forgot my password" loop, or use Duo Mobile/other 2FA.

The only really good auth feature I've ever encountered has been Apple's "fill from Messages" feature as well as their Touch.
