"You can just create 1 Sentence to remember all Passwords for particular Services like Lemmy World!"
Ycjc1StraPfpSlLW!
There you go. Different passwords for everything, but you only need to remember one. And no need for a password manager which may not be available on every device.
Until you need to change a password because it's been pwned.
Until you need to adhere to certain password lengths, rules etc.
Until you forget the exact way you abbreviated a sites name.
Just use a password manager.
Yeah I frequently see people tout this "solution" that's actually a serious anti-pattern.
...except that all your passwords are the same save for a few characters. It protects you from lazy password stuffing, but if multiple breaches reveal your pattern you may still be targeted. Also, most of the big password managers are available for most device types as far as I'm aware. That's not to say that it doesn't take some work, but I think many people agree that the payoff is worth it.
I use a system to remember passwords, it works quite well and they all are unique.
But your comment reminds me of my latest annoyance: email addresses. It isn't enough to use different passwords for every account, I now am using different emails for every account. Because companies should be encrypting my password AND my email address. Basically once a breach occurs that email is now garbage because it is a target.
So now password managers are a requirement because I want something more obtuse than email+website@mydomain. rotating domain names, rotating emails, its all a pain in the ass.
