How do you come up with passwords?

[Williamh695]

I usually use my name followed by a number only an immature person would think of then add one more number to it. Then when it makes me change it I just update the last number. Seems to be working well so far. Or I'll use Password8==>~~ if it's a site I don't care about

I think of a common thing you see or do, but it's so random it would take at least "1.3 million years" to find it

Password manager but if it's something I have to remember (like a computer login), I use a nonsense generator to come up with something pronounceable to help me remember while avoiding dictionary attacks. 2 or three of these joined with some common salt/special characters does well. For example "follonging#F-&switters" https://www.soybomb.com/tricks/words/

[RAHelllord]

I click a button in password manager and ignore everything else.

Can't accidentally leak my passwords if I don't know any of them.

Jokes on them, they don't know what i stir fry since even i don't know.

 

[sudeki300]

first letter from every word in a verse of a song, aswell as some numbers and characters

 

[BakerMan]

i just use basically the same password every time unless i need to change it up a bit

 

[impeeza]

I used to teach my students to use phrases without spaces and replacing letters for symbols or numbers

I also used song letters.

IDK, just think of something unique [i.e., not in any bruteforce dictionaries] and remember it? Isn't that the safest way?

Nah, it's safer to not know your passwords. That way, you can't be phished into giving them away

 

[Lostbhoy]

I steal yours

You're better off without them if you're stupid enough to fall for a phishing scam.

If I care about the account then I'll make something crytographically secure and save it on an encrypted drive. For accounts which I don't care about I just think of something easy to remember regardless of whether it's guessable.

Just randomize like 32 character long strings and throw them in my password manager.

Speaking as a cybersecurity researcher, everyone is susceptible at the right time. If you think you aren't, you're the prime candidate

[BORTZ]

[AmandaRose]

I just open a dictionary at random pages and point at words. Join em all together and throw in a few swear words for added bonus. For example let me use this method right now to make a password.
