My personal favorite method for passwords is come up with a passphrase I can remember, encode it to base 64, and use the encoded string as the password. If its not too long, the encoded version is usually not hard to memorize either.
I usually do this: tr -cd "[:alnum:]" Then I use an encrypted text file via Emacs to store my passwords
I don't understand why people jump through so many hoops and complexities when it comes to passwords. Like "seasonal" passwords described in this article. Multiple friends have told me they have an "algorithm" they use to derive their password for any website (it's basically a manual mental hash of some base password and the website name). Other friends have told me they keep a rotation of 3-5 passwords and have a ru…
I use a password manager, but USED to do that “human hash” of a website. It’s because password managers are annoying at the worst possible times. The dread of “oh god… this device doesn’t support my password manager/im only going to log in once here, so I have to carefully type out random numbers and letters” is not fun. Examples: office zoom meeting room tablet. Standalone VR headset. Smart TV. Trying to share an ac…

I always wonder why employers don't just set passwords for their users and only give them the option to randomize them. Seems like an ideal solution, if using passwords is a requirement.
The better option for employers is to just get rid of passwords and move to something like FIDO2.

Why is someone trying to scam/advertise managed crypto trading accounts?

For one, a password manager was in the news recently for a data breach, doesn't help the public perception

Also, here's why people don't want to use a password manager:

Let's not pretend like password managers are a silver bullet.

A password manager relies on a single point of failure secret (master password), while the website-hash approach relies on a single point of failure secret (master key derivation algorithm). It's really no different, so I think there must be some human biased thinking at play. Except the password manager requires a central or synchronizing computer system, while the in-head key derivation approach requires no such th…
