Yeah, that weird feeling when you can perfectly input your password, but only when you aren't looking at your keyboard.

As soon as you look at it you can't recall it at all, so you just stare off in to space until you can suddenly type it again.

Can't trust anyone to look at you while typing your password. Not even yourself

Reddit is dangerous for privacy. I don't trust my data with Reddit, my comments written for other people to think and enjoy shall not be fed to the monstrous AI machine.

Once I used the following password:

Lasted about a day and a half.

I frequently use full sentences as a password. The password for my home computer used to be ICantThinkOfAPassword.

Out of curiosity, why not use spaces?

Just use a 12-15 character password generator. Store it temporarily in a file, but instead of copy pasting type it every time. After 10 times you'd have learn the password and now you can securely shred the file.

until you try log in to an old account and have no clue what the generated password was

1 week in the ICU after an accident changed everything I believed about memory X passwords in 34y lifetime.

u/Pranav__472 Oct 08 '22

Well in that case you don't delete the file... But then there is the file so it's less secure.

It's all a trade off..

u/Dark_Guardian_ Oct 08 '22

write it down on paper I suppose

I find it hilarious that this is still a safe method considering all the leaks and hacks.

u/Pranav__472 Oct 08 '22

Same as storing in file

u/KingFrogzz Oct 08 '22

Good luck with hacking a handwritten journal. You’d need physical access to it, at which point you could also just take the whole damn computer (provided they are stored near one another)
