On the contrary, people like me do need it. The status-quo right now is that companies are forcing us to use security theater measures to further secure our accounts. But since those measures are actually weaker than the original password, it actually reduces the actual security around our accounts.
And I never use the remember password feature in my browser because I don't want to inadvertently give someone access to my account if they manage to access my machine.
