Only 16 characters?

What? No punctuation marks? Special characters like !@#$%^&*()_+?

And in six weeks... It's time to change your password! No repeats.

Captain Carter always has a password

It's not so bad once you develop a system.

Just use KeepAssXC.

Just add one to the number each time.

I'm on "[passwordiveusedforyears]22!" at work.

For otherwebsites I'm on things like "[passwordIveusedforyears][websitename]!"

Proper 2FA is secure enough for most people to keep using the same password so long as it hasn't been compromised. And a few things, like work passwords, email passwords, and bank passwords should be unique to thaspecific account.

Really, the biggest security hole is requiring logins for fucking everything. That's why there's a million password leaks. Why does a news website need me to sign in? Why do I need an account and password to order a pizza that I'm gonna pay for in-person?

We upped our passwords to sixteen chars last fall. Also, it’s UPPER lower digit and special-char. And we only require changing every twelve months when it used to be much more.

Here's what you do: Generate long random string, for example: P5edM5Ce0SGE0rOr9k&#T*wG@d$og^qyBTk2@%dmO@2akbm!b^5^p!bH8w7Ei7gPSIR^1Er&hab3ae@0odk3h76Ka48kYtXrsburM$7rf^vPRwXz1s5guO&$PZz3@w

Memorize it.

For each site just choose a number and select 16 characters starting at this number.

Remember which page uses what number. E.g. google = 32 -> &#T*wG@d$og^qyBTk2

Done. You don't have to remember any more passwords for the rest of your life.
