The only way I can realistically operate without a password manager while keeping a unique password per account would be to reset my password every single time I use an account. Which would be... very tedious.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoFor important things you can use the Munroe method and randomly choose several words from an appropriately large dictionary. The result has the advantage of being much easier to memorize as it lends itself to mnemonic techniques. The method has detractors who would argue that the word choice wouldn't be random enough, but that's because they employ a strawman who insists on either choosing their own words or using only words they are familiar with. If you actually pull words randomly from a really big dictionary, it has plenty of entropy. Having some obscure words in your passphrase only make it even more memorable anyway. For unimportant things, like your HN account, who cares.
- astura 8y agoNo, I can't remember that for more than maybe 1 -2 sites that I use every day. I got more than two financial accounts and two emails. Totally infeasible. That not even taking stupid password requirements into account (15 chars max or some shit)
