I have a different password for each service I use. Each password is 30+ characters long and completely random with letters, numbers and special characters. There's no way I could remember any of them and they'd be a hell to type out manually. I use KeePass on every device I own and it's synced over my NAS. So it's super convenient and no risk for leaks.

Tell me you use the same password everywhere without telling me you use the same password everywhere

My password manager contains about 600 passwords by now. I use 30+ passwords on a daily basis for work (IT industry) so no chance in hell that I'll remember half of those. And the ones I need maybe once a year?? Good luck without a manager.

I did this, stored in an encrypted container, for a long time. Problem is it’s not scalable unless you start reusing passwords across different sites and services, which is itself a terrible practice.

Switched to Bitwarden (self hosted) several months ago and am very happy with it.

I'm using randomly generated 64-character passwords with upper/lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols.

I prefer not to manually enter them every time.

Also someone could find and photograph your notepad and then all your passwords are compromised in one go.

We will see how fast you can remember that after a long and mentally exhausting work day :)
