Use commas in your passwords so they break the .csv file when they get breached.

Greatly decreases your chances to enter it from different devices

You guys use passwords without a password manager in 2026?

Use a password manager. Use the longest possible password the site will allow. Create a passkey and store it in the password manager if the site supports passkeys. Enable 2FA.

It’s not about which characters you use, it’s about how long of a password you use. “correct horse battery staple” and all that.

Accounts are rarely brute forced these days.

It's almost always a leaked, unsalted hash table.

U people use passwords without the full utf8 table?

It would marginally decrease the chance of your password being brute forced, which is likely the last way your password would ever get hacked, and most services have rate limiting to make this impossible or overwhelmingly unlikely anyway. So I'm gonna say no, not even slightly.

It's been so long since I've seen the old iOS login screen that I thought you were registering for The Beatles dot com.

No. No human is trying trillions of combination to brute force an attack. A machine does it, the machine will try all symbols and lettera.

The correct spelling of my name has an accent letter., its been working pretty effectively for keeping people from finding me on social media.

My mom gave me this spelling cause it was "French" and fancy.

No I'm not French and have no evidence than anyone in my family has French ancestry.

Anywho. Yes. Accents are a great way to hide yourself on social media as well as add an extra layer to password security

I also have my social media location as another country.

Text: use an accented letter

Image: shows a different, unique letter.

As a Spaniard I feel this is rage bait. Like calling Q an accented O.

My tip: mix languages. Defeats dictionary attacks. Hello28Adios@ for example. English word. Number. Spanish word. Symbol.

Next level is to still use a capital letter but not the first letter. Or the last. So then you have heLlo23aDios@ — much much much more secure.

Well, you also won't be able to log in from any computer with a US keyboard layout, so...

Fyi. I keep all my user names and passwords in an address book. A physical one.

In my house. That is locked. In a drawer. Not sitting on the computer or near it.

Someone would literally have to break in physically, find the address book, and then flip through it to even realize what it was.

I also have codes for some user accounts. So instead of writing them out I give myself a hint as to which one I used. I generally use a variation of 3 ones. With different slight changes.

For my bank account access and the email account associated with it I only have hints. Not an actual user or email. So it can't be bypassed with a password reset.

These are both unique though and neither are the same as each other nor anything similar to all the other user name variants I use for other accounts.
