Use a passphrase. Easy for a human to remember, hard for a machine to crack.
The difference is a passphrase is a bunch of random words stringed together so you get a longer passcode, versus a shorter string of random characters, which is a password.
Obviously the best is long passwords, but that’s only if you have a password manager.
That’s what I try to do the issue comes in when you have about 10 high level accounts that ate on random reset timers raging from 3 to 6 months and require complex chars (that’s the bit that kills me) some of which don’t even tell you they are expiring. So by the time my old ass commits them to memory it’s all change.
They won’t let me use horse battery staple correct anymore
That’s the key thing: yeah it’s better to use an independent password manager than Google’s one, but even Google’s one is so much better than the alternative of not using one at all!
It’s a step up from the postit note on .y mo itor of my 32 char nonsense the work makes me use while actively blocking integrated 3rd party plugins.
Not much of a step but i have shit I could be doing instead of failing to type it correctly on the 1st go

Ah yes my workplace is like this due to the data we work with. I get to use a KeePaas though!
