    I love how in security, we have gone from “use strong passwords” to “don’t make your own passwords”, because people will just refuse to learn.

      What are you talking about, “Hunter2!” is a fantastic password. It has a capital letter, a number, a special character, and is 8+ characters long, so it works for my bank accounts. What more could you want!

      Seriously though, just use a password manager. It’s easier than trying to find a password that works everywhere, and easier than trying to remember a bunch of different (but probably very similar) passwords. I just remember 3 passwords: password manager, email (for password recovery if the password manager goes down), computer login. That’s it, and I have well over a hundred accounts.
