I had a boring job years ago. We didn't have web access in the office, we did have a typing tutor program

I could already type

So I decided to learn to type again

So now I type on a dvorak layout except for the first login where I must use qwerty. About the time the password expires and must be changed I get to the point where it's muscle memory in both layouts

Fourth try: total motion blur

Trust the muscle memory.

[-] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 19 points 15 hours ago

And on the third try, you think you accidentally failed to hit the last key, and so you have to start all over again.

[-] T156@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Or it turns out you accidentally left caps lock on, and now you're locked out for a few minutes.

Two RJ ports on a laptop? Some of us are lucky to get one!

[-] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago

RJ45 and RJ11

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 14 points 19 hours ago

That's why I didn't specify which kind. I knew some laptops had a DSL or dial-up modem inside for use with any telephone sockets on the go.

[-] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

"I miss those old ports" is what I'd say, but my laptop has 'em :3

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 points 5 hours ago

Both? Are they combined into a hybrid port that works with either protocol?

[-] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Nope, it has the RJ45 in the side and the RJ11 in the back

[-] apprehentice@lemmy.enchanted.social 46 points 23 hours ago

I only know how to type my passwords at normal speed correctly. Like, I have to walk through the muscle memory step by step to get a text version of the password and even that's iffy.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 20 points 21 hours ago

I hate when I try to remember my master password without typing it and panic that I've forgotten my password. But when I got to type it, muscle memory is still there so no problem.

[-] xthexder@l.sw0.com 10 points 15 hours ago

I have absolutely no clue what my highschool locker combination is, but I guarantee you if you handed me the lock, I could open it first or second try. That muscle memory is burned deep into my hands, and it's been over 10 years.

In the rare occasions that my wife needs to use my phone, I need to type my (12 digit) pincode out on a number pad and read it back to her to be sure I get it right. I can type it flawlessly a dozen times a day but if I try to recite it, I screw up the order.

[-] akilou@sh.itjust.works 12 points 20 hours ago

First try: password manager

Job done

[-] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 21 points 19 hours ago

Unlock the password manager

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 13 hours ago

EZ, no password on password manager.

[Points at head]

[-] variants@possumpat.io 18 points 19 hours ago

How do you use a password manager at desktop login

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Working from home, connecting to a VM, you can use a password manager on your machine to log into the VM

And your home machine can be always logged on, or fingerprint unlock, or USB stick unlock or whatever

[-] veganpizza69@lemmy.vg 4 points 7 hours ago

You implant a chip in your brain that gives it control over your finger movement.

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago

That would be weirdly secure

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Until someone hacks your brain, or just puts a keyboard in front of you and lets the chip do its thing without your consent.

[-] FierySpectre@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Use it on your phone, duh :P

Jokes aside I wish windows supported pin+hardware key to log in... But alas that's an enterprise only thing.

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 23 points 23 hours ago

Where's the "check Caps Lock key" step?

[-] embed_me@programming.dev 2 points 7 hours ago

I disabled the caps lock key all together

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

How do you then activate cruise control for cool?

[-] glaber@lemm.ee 3 points 12 hours ago

Colemak gang

[-] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

My laptop has a LED that lights up when the caps lock is on I installed a buzzer on it

[-] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 3 points 18 hours ago

I installed a buzzer on it

Definitely want to do that on all keyboards at work

[-] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 20 points 23 hours ago

I just never slow down and take like 10 attempts sometimes. I don't know why, it isn't a good strategy

[-] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 6 points 23 hours ago

"mars will come to fear my botany power"

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 14 points 22 hours ago

This incident will be reported.

[-] tiramichu@lemm.ee 10 points 22 hours ago

Not seen Nagato in a while

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

login negato

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

The disappearance of Yuki Nagato.

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 11 points 23 hours ago

First try: Normal fast
Second try: Push harder in case a key didn't register, still normal fast
Third try: Only use a single finger, selecting every key carefully

[-] independantiste@sh.itjust.works 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Especially when your password gets reset after 3 fails like at my job, I DON'T want to deal with IT

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 11 hours ago

Or the storage encryption system just wipes the fault after the third incorrect try...

[-] lnxtx@feddit.nl 4 points 21 hours ago

fourth try: just use a password manager at this time.

[-] RiQuY@lemm.ee 8 points 20 hours ago

Then, same shit will hapen when entering the master password.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

The worst is when the password manager (KeePass in this case) is in quick unlock mode in its default configuration "enter the last four characters of your password"

Me: like I can remember how my password ends. Just let me type the whole thing

[-] pmarcilus@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 13 hours ago

U are supposed to fix it, password manager, not join them!
