make the password a phrase that means something for you, and write the initial letters of all words as the password, like let's say "I like my best friend Peter" would be "IlmbfP". I think that helps a lot

pretty much just use a password manager. i use keepassXC personally because i don't really need anything more than that. if you want something more modern, then bitwarden is probably the best option - i see it being recommended a lot.

do also note that rotating passwords does more harm than good - set up a long password and change it only if it's compromised in any way (i.e. lost usb drive with your passwords, or your data was found in a data breach)

and also don't use the same password for everything (which is why a password manager is p much a necessity nowadays) - that way if your data IS in a data breach, only one account is compromised instead of like a bajillion

wow i yapped a lot sorry

seconded password manger. every browser has one built-in if you're lazy like me and provide cross-device sync

thanksss ya'll! Got it!

@brachy No No sorry! I'm very thankyou how thorough you were.

My passwords are acronyms basically. One of them is all the first names of people I've dated, another one is everyone in my immediate family. then I add numbers and symbols. every time I have to change it, I just add more symbols or numbers. I don't think that's secure but my passwords are getting longer and I don't have to think of a brand new one every time. (sometimes it's like @ replaces A or 3 replaces E)

I also use a password manager for more secure passwords, which are tied to bank or identity accounts. and never share those passwords, like brachy noted it's more secure if one is compromised - then you don't have to worry about all your identity things, just one.

i actually use this: https://daliwali.neocities.org/brainpass/ <-- the advantage is that there's no way to get locked out, it works even if i lose my devices.

thanks max! thanks walii i'll check that out!

As was said above, Bitwarden is the way to go. Very secure and completely free.
