Of course I’m not asking you to give away your passwords. But for those of you who have so many, how do you keep track of them all? Do you use any unique methods?

I know many people struggle between having something that’s easy to remember and something that’s easy to guess. If you keep a note with your passwords on it, for example, it can be stolen, lost, or destroyed, or if you make them according to a pattern that’s easy to remember, the wrong people might find them easier to guess.

    Pretty much this. But I used a function of the host name, so it would be easier to remember.

    It gets annoying when the site forces you to rotate the password. After that happened a couple of times I started using a password manager.
