I had one of the most valuable accounts in a video game, so attackers of all kinds were constantly contacting me. I was immediately suspicious of anyone who contacted me. I signed up for the forum with a password from my password manager (I like toying with attackers). I told him I signed up, and a few minutes later he said there was a problem with my account and asked if I used a password manager. I said yes. He said to sign up without it because the site doesn't support it. I tried arguing with him that that makes no sense. But arguing with someone who's lying and refuses to admit it is generally not productive, and the argument got nowhere.

His idea to make me sign up without a password manager was illogical anyways. If I use a password manager on his site, it should be obvious I use a password manager for my video game account, so me halting my password manager usage for his site wouldn't help him get my video game account.
