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.

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

I understand, but I absolutely do not endorse. For the same reason as the XKCD comic correct horse battery staple is based on. It's bullshit, it's hard to remember (sometimes even hard to read or type in).

I just generated one & I tried to post a screenshot, but my Lemmy app isn't cooperating...KeePass gives lots of options, very nice. The password randomly generated was "3vrCNHTTxFuMyhah". Like...what the hell is that?? What??

Don't get me wrong, I set up probably 30+ of those stupid things in my wayward youth. But if for some reason you have to type them in manually via Xbox controller, TV app, or otherwise....you're going to be cussing yourself out like MAN this is SO STUPID, and it's exponentially dumber because it's something I did to myself. It's not more secure. Make it easier, and also ironically more secure, doing it the right way.

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.
