    Why can’t we just normalize memorizing complex passwords? It isn’t that hard if you dedicate some effort to it instead of lazily making it Currentmonth123!$

    This is just a stupid take. I bet you either reuse your passwords regularly or you don’t really use the internet that much. I just looked it up and I have 270 unique logins, with as many 20 characters long passwords, with letters numbers and special characters.

    Now tell me with a straight face that you think everyone can memorize that.

      Anything I have to log into frequently gets memorized. Anything I set and forget gets reset every time I log in. I don’t know my Xbox password, and I don’t need to, because the next time I need to log in I can just use my email address and reset it to like 2023!TheDayBefore$ucked! or something stupid and unguessable like that. Then 6 months later, when I can’t even fathom what I would have set it to, I’ll reset it again.

      And then ofc the few super important things like my bank and email get special unique 20+ character passwords that I memorize
