Remember all your passwords by using a good "skeleton password" and substitute a character or two for the site name.
Example: rW4ga#l0x! where # is substituted with 'h' for hackernews.
- nailer 16y agoAwesome! I'm going to try rW4gappl0x! on your Paypal and rW4gagml0x! on your Gmail.
- zyfo 16y agoGo ahead. I find it secure enough for everyday passwords. Also, the actual pattern and placement need not be as proposed. The principle still holds.
- nailer 16y ago> the actual pattern and placement need not be as proposed. Doesn't matter. Do you have a Reddit account? They, like a lot of sites, have stored passwords in clear text before, and these passwords have also been compromised.
- zyfo 16y agoRelated anecdote: I've actually googled my password and found a unecrypted database table on a deserted sandbox page.
