I can remember like 5 passwords. My computer password, my work computer password, my trash everything password and my password vault password. I know that's only 4, but I still remember my last vault password, so that one counts twice

Everything else is some random shit that I bitch about entering manually when pasting doesn't work.

Use a password manager. Problem solved.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

and my password vault password

Use a password manager

Lol

[–] dyc3@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Ok fair I didn't read that far. Still, I think my point is valid, at least a little

Who TF isn’t using a password manager in 2025? Like how would you even function?

EDIT: Y’all need to stop replying with your password generation strategies. JFC it’s like you’re asking someone to pwn your shit.

My employer, a fortune 500, blocks password managers and all other add-ons.

My employer, a 12 people big company, nowhere near any fortune list, mandates the use of 1password for all company related accounts.

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah but you see there's the problem, you don't have a committee to launch a working group that puts together investigative teams to research and write reports on the benefit of the solution, the ROI of the solution, the training costs of the solution, stakeholder buy in of the solution, and potential alternatives to the solution. You need at least a 10 month process before one jackass says they don't want the solution so the committee can recommend to management that the solution be abandoned.

God damn, you sure you're not a politician?

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Insinuating that I may be a politician is the most insulting thing someone has said to me in a while, well done. And no I'm not, I'm just a guy who spent over a decade self-employed then went into the corporate world and tried to bring my innovate quickly mindset with me and very quickly found out that even a simple change requires that only affects my department required 5 different people from outside our department to sign off on the change and each one of them assigned 1 or more people to research and report on the change. Losg story short, after a while I found out what was going on and why nothing ever got adopted and I being a snarky asshole learned there corporate buzzwords and started stringing them into the proposals.

[–] Seefoo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wasn't intended as an insult, just a joke at your sarcasm reminding me of how politicians talk

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 3 points 4 days ago

I was also joking, I assumed you were joking.

Get a password manager. It's a lot more secure and easier to only have to remember one strong main password and have the rest randomly generated

KeePassXC, donor, and I sync it with my (self-hosted) SyncThing server.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

FWIW, LastPass is bullshit. DYOR, and stay safe, citizens!

Also, it could be taken as a positive that BitWarden is the example Wikipedia uses to define password strength. 🤌🏼

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Why would your password be *******? That seems terribly insecure.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

nobody else can see it when I type it.

Generate unique passwords using this tool, slightly modifying them to meet the requirements (special character, etc).

Store the passwords using KeePass; it is awesome, secure, and free. I've used it for nearly 20 years. Never once had a problem.

Bonus points if you use a comma for a special character, because I hear commas are a small inconvenience for hackers scraping usernames, passwords en masse. Fuck those guys.

[–] snowsuit2654@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Many (most?) password managers, including KeePass, have a feature to generate passwords directly in the tool.

Finally can't take it anymore

Downloads a Password Manager

Password Manager: "Please create a unique master password to begin"

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

That's one password, and then use 2FA or a passkey or a yubinkey or anything to secure it so the security of the password isn't a big deal

Then go to every single thing you have a password for, and have the password manager set it to something random. I personally like pass phrases get it up in the teens of characters multiple words multiple numbers multiple special characters. 99.9% of the time you shouldn't be typing any of this in. It should be injected for you. If per chance you should need to type one of them in typing in four or five words some numbers and some special characters is not really a horrible grievance.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Has to be 16 characters

So long as I can use more than that, I won't complain. I don't remember the service, but I definitely remember one where they wouldn't allow over a certain amount of characters and that was annoying because that was when I was still using repeat passwords back in highschool. My preferred password at the time was roughly 20 characters, but apparently that was too much because who cares about security, am I right?

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It's even worse when they have a limit and don't enforce it consistently. I had to submit a bug report to my bank because I made a 24 character password at account creation but the login page only allowed 16 characters.

For everybody commenting on passwords manager, I've been using one for years now and I feel this so bad. My company has a password policy of changing the LAPTOP's password every 8 weeks and you can't reuse any of the last 10 passwords used. I hate it because I can't use a password manager to unlock my laptop and I'm so used to password managers by now that it's getting really hard to come up with new passwords that follow the stupid requirements and even worse remembering them. I'm veeeery close to just start noting them down in a notebook by my machine and then send a picture to our security guy to show him where he has gotten us all to

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Write a script that sets the password to 10 different passwords, then back to your original password.

[–] Seefoo@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I save it my password manager and can pull it on other devices. Still annoying, but not the worst. Honestly the worst is passwords with a character limit, and even worse when it's "small" like 16

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

My company has a password policy of changing the LAPTOP's password every 8 weeks and you can't reuse any of the last 10 passwords used.

There are more than 10 symbols, so just rotate through them. If your org doesn't respect you enough to have reasonable password rotations, I wouldn't bother spending much time coming up with new ones and just modify your current to pass the minimums.

Some$$Word12
Some&&Word11
Some--Word10

Etc
