So true. I used XP until 7 was released. I'll continue to use 7 until they stop trying to dumb down OS's and/or making them operate like a phone (10 was a compromise from 8 but compromise isn't what desktop owners want in my experience). If I want to use an elephanting phone, I'll use a phone

So I'm currently a contractor who is employed at company A, but works for company B.
I need to login to my Microsoft account at A to fill in my hours, but I need to login to my Microsoft account at B to access their Azure environment.
And because I didn't have a VSTS account at B yet I've been hosting the code I wrote for B on my personal VSTS account C.
But because I also have a project for my own company I do have an Azure login for that customer D.
Logging in to any Microsoft service has become a real PITA.
At least I can still login to GitHub with a single account... Oh wait 
I did get a VSTS account for B today, so hopefully switching between B and C becomes a thing of the past as of tomorrow

Welcome to modern life--A different user name for each site, and they don't have the same criteria for valid passwords, and also make you change your password every so often so that you cannot even maintain the same password for different systems.

I have this same problem and it is all managed by my C'YaPass app.
You never have to memorize a password again, but you can easily have a separate password for every site. I honestly use it every day numerous times at work. It's so much easier and better.
Please try my program, C'YaPass.
You can get the source code for every platform you can imagine at my GitHub :
GitHub - raddevus/CYaPassWF: Contains C# project for WinForm(WF) (Windows desktop) for CYaPass app[^]
You can get the installer for the WinForm version at: C'YaPass: Forget All Your Passwords | Get C'YaPass[^]
You can try the web version at: C'YaPass : Never type a password again[^]
The WinForm version is far better though because :
1. you can draw your password once (leave the app run)
2. each time you select your key for the site you want
3. it automatically copies your password to the clipboard so you can simply paste it.
Of course, there is much more to this password manager that does not save the passwords anywhere but generates them each time.
The generated passwords are SHA-256 hashes. Virtually as random as you can get.
It Remembers Password Requirements
The cool thing is that it remembers the sites password requirements like:
length
uppercase
special character
Here I made a really fast video (30 seconds) of how easy it is to use.
You'll see the app in action and then see the password pasted into Notepad++.
Also notice you draw one pattern but a different password is gen'd for each site.

Well I guess that it makes it better to listen to that music when you are in your car on the expressway and you have not moved for an hour, but the traffic still does suck.

I listen to Jazz FM[^] when I'm on the road. It has a very calming influence on this old fart.

Good old tune.

So then iFauxn will allow the user to track how they use it, for how long, and all sorts of other data. I suppose it might already be something the do for to you, but if not, those who use the new features are giving them a new depth of view into how and when they spend your time.
Also, put limits on usage (presumably on children, marking them as such).
Do you think it will have any marketing value?

Don't you love the deviousness of it. Market the feature as "monitor yourself" but underneath the hood, the real point is for them to monitor YOU. Big Brother is starting to look pretty tame in comparison to the BS going on nowadays.

Getting on past the devious nature, I'm already hearing the clamorous disbelief of the masses that their private information has been stored, bought, and sold.

Yup. Deviousness works best when applied to unlimited ignorance and gullibility.

Exactly...it just goes to show that they have it in place and can use to monitor you.
This has to be switched off.
I hope this is not a Carrier IQ[^] repeat.

Why does anyone care? What do you do on your phone that you wouldn't want other people to know about?

Most of it, no I wouldn't care. But you're comparing apples to oranges. It doesn't work.
So, are you able to answer the question?

You've answered your own question for yourself. Give it a good think. You'll see it eventually.
As for a direct answer to your question: it would be pretty damn stupid to post the stuff I would not want known, wouldn't it? I mean you did you the phrase "wouldn't want other people to know about, didn't you?
