Protip: create a passphrase instead of a password. Way harder to guess, way easier to remember.
I did use a passphrase. I even created it using a "seed word" such that the passphrase is like an acrostic poem. I know how many words there are and I know every word except one, and I even know the starting letter of the word, I just can't figure out what the word is. I guesed passwords for 2 days straight and didn't get the correct one, now I just lost my motivation to keep guessing.
Depression certainly doesn't help.
Just tell it to me and I will help you if your ever forget it again :)
okay my password for this lemmy account is:
hunter2isabadpasswordthisisamuchbetterpasswordillnevergethackedagain
Please keep this password safe 😉
Yeah depression sucks :(
You could write down the passphrase on a piece of paper and hide it in a book or something. Most hacks happen via malware, database leaks, or social engineering anyway. Just don't lend out the book to anyone accidentally lmao.
No system is perfect, unfortunately.
I hope you have a lovely day :)
