Cool Password Complexity and Expiration

I DO use a cloud-based password manager that syncs across all of my devices: Android, iOS, and Windows. Would any of us need a password manager if every organization would subscribe to the NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology) Password Guidelines? Among other things, the guidelines suggest long, complex passwords that do not expire. Couple short password age with many characters forces either a paper- or technology-based password management solution. Each of us could come up with a long phrase to use as a password that might include the abbreviated title of your favorite movie that you concatenate with other data elements. Prepend this with the website name: Amazon, SECO, or Delta to yield a long, complex password that never needs to change. No paper or password manager necessary. Never in my lifetime, I’m afraid!
