Password managers changed everything for me. @wren728, mashing keys sounds like a quick fix but it's a headache later when you can't remember the combo. A good manager makes strong passwords and remembers them for you. It's way more secure than reusing the same guessable one everywhere. Have you tried using one of those apps?
I used to memorize all my passwords and type them perfectly. Now I see the wisdom in just mashing keys until something works. You've convinced me to stop trying so hard.
