This legit made me choke on my laughter. So fucking true.

And then people go "jUsT wRitE iT dOwN"

Well, I do, bish, but I can never remember what notebook or piece of paper I wrote it on nor where I put it. I have found old password notes in the weirdest places, even digitally. In fucking Procreate on my iPad in a a weird folder I never use, quickly scribbled down in a file that I have not looked at for three years. Sometimes in the bottom of a bag that I put in the basement months ago, on a little water damaged poster it note. Other times in the back of a notebook, upside down AND written in invisible ink. No really. And I thought I was sooooo clever at the time too. -_-

So now I have a bullet journal I carry with me everywhere and I wrote down all the pin codes and passwords and whatever the fuck I have that I can remember down on a separate piece of paper that is in pocket in the back of the book so that when this journal is finished, I can put it in the next one. I hope this time it will work out longterm, lol.

Ok but I'm not losing all my passwords if I lose just one or if my manager breaks. Safety over security smh.

password managers save my life very hard

Password Strength xkcd

I don't know how but I went way too long without a password manager. Changed my life. I recommend Bitwarden. I also use it to store like, my bank account number or my tax number.

Do yourself a favor and go to https://bitwarden.com/

Password security and password manager howto should be an essential part of education. But then again if that happened, schools would probably teach how to use some proprietary cloud-based app with built-in datamining, because lobbying. It would only be a matter of time before everyone would find out the company was storing everyone's passwords in plaintext after they all leaked.

Let me write a fucking passphrase instead of ABCabc123! And let me use fucking ã, ñ, é, ç, etc on my passwords - Microsoft doesn't allow spaces or latin special characters

Forcing people to use upper case, lower case, number and special character is terrible for them and vastly increases password reuse. Besides, almost no one brute forces anything anymore, it's all rainbow tables and invading the database server

Edit: Most places wont allow it due to character requirements and length limits, but it does work and is cryptographically sound.

At home I have a notebook, at work I have a system, so I can deduce the password most of the times.

Keep a physical, paper password notebook, and write something boring, like "recipes" on the front of it.
