I have some long passwords that I keep out of password managers for private stuff that I don't want to be leaked from a password manager leak or w/e. I can remember them, but had a really hard time remembering even the start of most of them after not using them for a few weeks.
- jagger27 5y agoThere have been times that I’ve had to close my eyes and completely rely on muscle memory to enter a long password. Last time it happened was after a 2 week vacation. That kind of timeframe isn’t abnormal for the speed of law.
- tediousdemise 5y agoImpressive! After all these years I still need to look at the keyboard.
- jagger27 5y agoI find it somewhat disconcerting that my fingers remember my passwords better than my brain does!
- dkersten 5y agoMuscle memory still happens in the brain. A better description might be unconscious memory. I believe the proper term is "procedural memory". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_memory
- spentu 5y agoThis happens to me a lot. I need to have access to keyboard for being able to type some older password. Same thing with pin codes.. Funny how brain works.
