Since my main lemmy’s password is locked behind Bitwarden, I had to make a new account to post. Originally I started using passwords manager because I keep forgetting passwords. But my paranoid ass is so worried that someone saw me typing my Bitwarden master password so I feel the urge to change it. So now I forgot the new master password.
The password is a few word passphrase generated from a keyword. Like an acoustic poem, if you know what I mean. I know all the words except one word, and I know the starting letter of the word, just forgot the exact word. 🥲 Guess I’m gonna flip through the dictionary to find a word that feels right.
Um so… has anyone experienced memory issues? I’m a young adult (18-25 age range), so I feel so strange to be forgetting stuff so early. Like do young people normally forget things?
for Gmail and Bitwarden I use on basic password from my past, then every few years, I add something to the end of it so it’s like Password1password2P3###123 - so it’s really long, but I only ever have to ‘learn’ the last little bit added
every other p.word in my life is random characters (but I also keep a hint of both gmail and bitwarden’s passwords - like - a description of each password (the one from dial-up) (that one generated from that one website) (123)
