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

I enjoy self hosting it

(Rather vaultwarden)

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 5 points 1 week ago

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

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. 🤌🏼

Randomly generate your master password too. It takes a bit to memorize, but becomes muscle memory pretty quickly. And since random passwords have the highest possible entropy per character you can use a shortish one, which allows for fast typing while still being impossible to brute force (I use 16 chars).

Once you forget it, you lose everything

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

[-] salty_chief@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Federal and State jobs you can’t use password managers.

[-] DaGeek247@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

My federal job came with one pre-installed.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Depends on your clearance level/what you have access to.

[-] naticus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Yeah idk about that. I've worked in state govt for a very long time and our cybersecurity controls essentially mandates we use one. I'm also in our security audit team and have to talk to state offices about our NIST controls regularly. And the NIST DOD controls are even more stringent than ours. Something sounds off.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 week ago

Okay so remember the one or two ones you need there (try a passphrase!)

For everything else - password manager.

[-] salty_chief@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Federal I had about 15 passwords. The State job I had about half that.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yep.

I use pass phrases filtered through a mess of cyber chef.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social -2 points 1 week ago

Those are hackable too through

I have passwords I don't care about, passwords I keep on the manager, and then important ones I enter manually every time

[-] markz@suppo.fi 1 points 1 week ago

Don't ever use lastpass and the likes, when good open source ones exist.

[-] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 6 points 1 week ago

i just use hunter2 for everything

[-] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[-] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 4 points 1 week ago

nobody else can see it when I type it.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 week ago

God, the tears rolling down my face laughing the first time I read that.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

BatmanSupermanSpidermanCaptainAmerica@2025

Just 4 characters are enough. And it includes Cap.

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

TheDoctor&CaptainJack

16 characters and a cap

[-] scytale@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

I just checked my password manager vault and I currently have 311 passwords stored there.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 week ago
[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 week ago

I have nearly 800. I think I need to do some cleaning.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It's not so bad once you develop a system.

[-] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago
[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 week ago

I was on the internet early enough that I had a four character, all lower case password to my emails and it never complained once.

[-] dihkbozo@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

What? No punctuation marks? Special characters like !@#$%^&*()_+?

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 week ago

I got a "we've had customers accounts breached, please update your password" email the other day.

They specifically called out you can't use # in your password, and it's been bugging me why that is. What part if their system let's in other special characters but # is off limits?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Now that I’m thinking about this it’s bugging me too. If they are passing it to shell scripts maybe it’s interpreted as a comment? Some databases like Oracle use # to separate schema prefix from schema user and table name in a query? But none of those would really make sense here 🤷

Haha! Now I have access to your blockbuster account! You Fool!

Why do you owe $322 in late fees for the movie Waterworld with Kevin Costner?

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago
[-] Townlately@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago

I...admitted I had a Costner addiction in the mid 90s...but these "Block Busters" kept me locked up for years! Is it all water out there?!
