Don't Make Visitors Make Accounts

Seriously. Our local burrito chain has a loyalty program where you get a little card, and so on, but you have a password. Right, because I really want to remember a Burrito Password.

I wonder how many people's passwords for that are 'burrito'

I would guess most are either "burrito", "password", "1234" or similar with the remainder being forgotten by the person who set it the instant they entered it. I am curious what percentage have a reasonably strong password that they can actually remember for their burrito account.

Password managers solve this problem pretty nicely.

I don't want to pull up my password manager to buy my lunch.

You probably have it on your mobile. I agree though this is borderline crazy.

I don't keep passwords on mobile. I am very segmented with how I use my phone.
