Every time I add an account, for one. And there's still plenty of (dumb) sites which force me to change my password and sometimes username periodically.
Keeping an offsite database in sync is tedious, especially if it's delivered via sneakernet.
I add an account to that database maybe twice a year, probably less. Do you make a lot more accounts than that?
The off-site solution I have updates a lot more often than that, although that's only because only the really important stuff is backed up in that way; the stuff I truly need to survive my house burning down.
I'm almost done with that aspect of my life now, but every school year it feels like there's a new slate of apps, parent communication portals, etc. I need to manage these as well.
It's way more often than twice a year for me. And it's accelerating.
