Who TF isn’t using a password manager in 2025? Like how would you even function?
EDIT: Y’all need to stop replying with your password generation strategies. JFC it’s like you’re asking someone to pwn your shit.

My employer, a fortune 500, blocks password managers and all other add-ons.
My employer, a 12 people big company, nowhere near any fortune list, mandates the use of 1password for all company related accounts.
Ah but you see there's the problem, you don't have a committee to launch a working group that puts together investigative teams to research and write reports on the benefit of the solution, the ROI of the solution, the training costs of the solution, stakeholder buy in of the solution, and potential alternatives to the solution. You need at least a 10 month process before one jackass says they don't want the solution so the committee can recommend to management that the solution be abandoned.
God damn, you sure you're not a politician?
Insinuating that I may be a politician is the most insulting thing someone has said to me in a while, well done. And no I'm not, I'm just a guy who spent over a decade self-employed then went into the corporate world and tried to bring my innovate quickly mindset with me and very quickly found out that even a simple change requires that only affects my department required 5 different people from outside our department to sign off on the change and each one of them assigned 1 or more people to research and report on the change. Losg story short, after a while I found out what was going on and why nothing ever got adopted and I being a snarky asshole learned there corporate buzzwords and started stringing them into the proposals.
Wasn't intended as an insult, just a joke at your sarcasm reminding me of how politicians talk
I was also joking, I assumed you were joking.
Federal and State jobs you can’t use password managers.
Yeah idk about that. I've worked in state govt for a very long time and our cybersecurity controls essentially mandates we use one. I'm also in our security audit team and have to talk to state offices about our NIST controls regularly. And the NIST DOD controls are even more stringent than ours. Something sounds off.

Get a password manager. It's a lot more secure and easier to only have to remember one strong main password and have the rest randomly generated
KeePassXC, donor, and I sync it with my (self-hosted) SyncThing server.
FWIW, LastPass is bullshit. DYOR, and stay safe, citizens!
Also, it could be taken as a positive that BitWarden is the example Wikipedia uses to define password strength. 🤌🏼

Why would your password be *******? That seems terribly insecure.

Store the passwords using KeePass; it is awesome, secure, and free. I've used it for nearly 20 years. Never once had a problem.
Bonus points if you use a comma for a special character, because I hear commas are a small inconvenience for hackers scraping usernames, passwords en masse. Fuck those guys.
Many (most?) password managers, including KeePass, have a feature to generate passwords directly in the tool.

Has to be 16 characters
So long as I can use more than that, I won't complain. I don't remember the service, but I definitely remember one where they wouldn't allow over a certain amount of characters and that was annoying because that was when I was still using repeat passwords back in highschool. My preferred password at the time was roughly 20 characters, but apparently that was too much because who cares about security, am I right?

For everybody commenting on passwords manager, I've been using one for years now and I feel this so bad. My company has a password policy of changing the LAPTOP's password every 8 weeks and you can't reuse any of the last 10 passwords used. I hate it because I can't use a password manager to unlock my laptop and I'm so used to password managers by now that it's getting really hard to come up with new passwords that follow the stupid requirements and even worse remembering them. I'm veeeery close to just start noting them down in a notebook by my machine and then send a picture to our security guy to show him where he has gotten us all to
Write a script that sets the password to 10 different passwords, then back to your original password.
I save it my password manager and can pull it on other devices. Still annoying, but not the worst. Honestly the worst is passwords with a character limit, and even worse when it's "small" like 16

Just 4 characters are enough. And it includes Cap.
I just checked my password manager vault and I currently have 311 passwords stored there.
