Use a password manager yoooo. I spent half a decade avoiding it and said fk it one weekend and set it up. It takes some time to set it up the first time but it's the way to go.
How to enter windows login password using password manager π
Install the password manager on your phone and view it on your phone. Then copy your randomly generated gibberish password with 700 characters by hand :^)
Yeah, this is the struggle. Ideally passwordless smart card login becomes more common.
I used a randomly generated password as a child. I copied it by hand so many times I memorized it. I still use that password today for something. So technically even if you did use a randomly generated password for your PC you will probably memorize it if you type it enough.
The serious answer tho is I just use a password I remember for my computer. I use a phrase so it's easier to remember. It's still way easier to remember 2 passwords vs like 20. Password managers also just make it more secure because it makes it super easy to use super strong unique passwords for each service.
With a USB barcode scanner and store a barcode/QR code in your password manager on your phone.

Sure, I'll copy 'X*Pe$#5t6ZnJF6$JnpahpGSrry' over in two seconds flat βΊοΈ
Where do you live so I can break in and try the password?
42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.
Pog. I've always wanted to visit Australia.
I do. The damn bank website gave me "you can't reuse passwords try again" on something the password manager generated for me on the first attempt at entering a password, and then the account froze and the bank manager had to unfreeze the account (the teller helping me couldn't manage to unfreeze it for reasons neither of us understood). I think i have a hell of a knack for breaking computers if that's a job.
Breaking computers is a job. It's called software QA
I use a password manager and have still had that happen.
Pasted from manager, incorrect. Ok, maybe I saved the wrong oneβ¦ change password, use one saved because Iβm too lazy to generate a new one - canβt be same as current. π Fuck you, shit-ass Best Buy website.
This just sounds like user error to me. Click the correct copy button and it should work.
It's the single biggest quality of life improvement I've made in the last 3 years. I wish I had done it sooner (and if anyone reading hasn't got one yet, Bitwarden is FOSS and can be selfhosted.)
I actually found it quite fun to go through all my logins and change any shitty passwords, adding them to the password manager as I went. It's a great quest for when you want to procrastinate from doing something important by doing something that feels productive.
