    Thank you so much. I stupidly had all my passwords the same. Now that I’m older and more mature I’m realizing how stupid that was and I was afraid I would start forgetting my passwords. This helped a lot.

    I don't like my passwords being truly random, so my strategy is to first use methods like this video to come up with a unique, complex, but memorable string, then process it with a repeatable but irreversible method that ensures the universal string won't look the same for every website after processing. You can get real creative with the method since there's no need for decryption.
    This way the password is pseudo-random, unique for every website with no overlap, but memorable as long as you don't lose the original code, your universal string and the format to combine the website and/or account name. Probably unneccessary for most people, but it's the perfect solution for my preference.

    The trouble with using symbols manually is...typing your pw on a smartphone. It can take you 15 minutes to enter the pw on the phone (correctly) because you can rarely do it on the first or even second attempt. That only forces the user to create too simple a pw.
    The NIST recommendation is the length of a password is most important and remove complexity. Always make the phrase be as lengthy as the facility owner will allow including spaces. If you use a phrase such as a line from The Illiad and then worry about including a capital letter, and/or old phone number that you knew fairly well, then password becomes impenetrable to brute force decoding.

    I have some that haven't been changed in a while :/ I have a process though, and they are all unique. My main issue is when some service providers don't allow some characters in their passwords, meaning my process needs to be tweaked especially for them, and then I don't remember that password.

    I went full stupid on this side. First I used Bitlocker to secure a USB with a complex password that I have memorized, I then installed Veracrypt and created several volumes inside that USB. One of the advantages of Veracrypt is that on top of using a strong password to access the volume, Veracrypt can also use "key files" in order to open the volume. Those files can be anything, from a picture, a song, a word file that may have a miscellaneous name such as English essay for class x. If a person wanted to open that word file they will find an essay but they are not looking for a word in it, rather the entire file is the key. I used a picture, a song, and a random save file from a video game. so even if they managed to crack one volume they would then have to be lucky that that particular volume has the legit passwords.
    The passwords for the accounts are even more complex, I basically smash my hand on the keyboard, then add a random combination of the alt code symbols, for instance ÿ and several random numbers. I change the password for the USB once every 3 months and of course I have a back up of it, God forbid I lose that USB.

      @@laszlokenyo3168 Okay.
      "Bitlocker to secure a USB with a complex password that I have memorized" -- There is no mention yet how this password is constructed, whether or not it's backed up anywhere, or really just how strong this password might be. If you somehow mis-remember by a character or two, then you will have a problem if you don't have the password backed up somewhere, whether through hints, a text file or piece of paper in a safe deposit box, or whatever.
      "installed Veracrypt and created several volumes inside that USB" -- No elaboration as to why having multiple volumes is necessary. If any of this gets corrupted in any way, then that's it. You had better have the files backed up somewhere.
      "on top of using a strong password to access the volume, Veracrypt can also use "key files" in order to open the volume" -- There's a second password to memorize. Repeat what I already said above about the first password. In addition, you have introduced key files. These are a great way to further secure an encrypted file, but this is also one more thing to go wrong if any of the key files used are corrupted, altered, misplaced, or erased. Once again, no mention of a backup system.
      "smash my hand on the keyboard, then add a random combination of the alt code symbols, for instance ÿ and several random numbers" -- This isn't a robust password-creation system, and "random keypresses" aren't nearly as random as you would like to believe. Even if it were provably random, there is no mention of how you would go about memorizing such a sequence.
      "I change the password for the USB once every 3 months and of course I have a back up of it" -- Okay, you have a backup of the encrypted file, but alas, there is no mention of how the passwords are backed up and/or reliably memorized. Also, not much is said about backing up the key files and preventing them from being inadvertently altered. Any small change might be enough to render them invalid as key files.
      This is a recipe for a disaster, where the user loses his own files due to unexpected incompetence and a lack of fault tolerance. On the plus side, you won't necessarily get hacked.

    one huge flaw with Google is if somebody guesses your password they can actually get around two step verification by guessing the backup codes. if they can guess just one of your backup codes they can easily sign into your Google account. also one question all my passwords are over 70 digits long and they are a complicated mix of letters numbers and symbols. Can that possibly be brute forced???

    If someone gets one of your passwords, they're going to have all of them if all that you do to make them different is change a couple of letters.
    Also using the first letter or two from well known text or poems is another method that is over used. Unless you're using a phrase that hasn't been posted on the internet before, I wouldn't think this is a secure method.
    Virtually any system that is going to be explained in a youtube video is well-known and thus inherently weak.
