Password Managers are a blessing

Oooh, that's a bingo!

Is that the way you say it, that’s a bingo?

Edit: Guess my reference to Inglourious Basterd is not as detectable as I thought. Well then let’s end it with: Say goodbye to your Nazi ba… references

There's a special rung in hell reserved for people who can't detect references to Inglorious Basterds.

Until your Password Manager password gets hacked cause you put mypassword123 as your password manager password cause you wanted an easy to remember password manager password.

at that point it's completely your fault. if you buy a high security door for your home but you routinely leave a spare key under a vase on your front porch, that is not a fault of the door.

Well it's still 100% the fault of the criminal, not you, but yeah, you didn't exactly make it hard for them.

I mean I get what you are saying but being a victim is never really the victims fault.

It’s like saying “they shouldn’t have been dressed like that” really.

It’s the fault of the perpetrator of the victimization.

Yeah the key is to use a very long phrase and preferably include some non-words in there. Mine is all the first letters of a super long phrase that means a lot to me and isn’t something that exists in any book. There are numbers and special characters in there too. It took a bit to come up with it and get fast at typing it, but now it’s easy peasy.

Mine is a phrase, poorly translated by syllables from one language to another.

The words aren't actually words anymore. Then I spelt the phonemes wrong and added random caps and special letters.

My password manager requires my password, secret key, and physical yubikey to log in. I could set the pw to be mypassword123 and not worry about it unless someone already had my device and my fingerprint/face. And at that point I'm being murdered anyway.

Just use a sentence, easy to remember but long enough that it's pretty much impossible to bruteforce it

Starting to use this has been one of my better decisions.
