It turns out that emoticons are considered a symbol, so they can beef up your passwords and make them more secure in combination with letters and numbers. Here’s how.
Just use these methods for the pws you either need to know (like your password manager) or don’t want stored for whatever reason, like your bank. Otherwise, yeah, just let your password manager generate a password for whatever site.
It’s as easy to remember a bunch of those as it is remembering 4 random words with no association, I think. And besides, just use that for the big, important, pws like your pw manager.
good luck remembering all of those for every account you create, though.
Why are you not using a password manager
If you’re using a password manager you don’t need phrases you can remember, you can generate even more secure passwords. Or start using passkeys.
I want cross-device
Most are cross device. Use bitwarden
Guest machines too. And I sorta prefer whichever browser/OS I’m using’s implementation because they’re usually styled similarly.
I am, and I’m not jumping through hoops of making up a password sentence for every new website. I let Bitwarden take care of that for me.
