ugh that looks horrendous. I tried this out at one point with a song lyric that was around 7 words. Took me about 20 seconds each time to type the password (had to sing the song in my head every single time).

Now I just use the xkcd method. e.g. forest monkey jump truck

I have a different password for everything, which is something like 50 different passwords. I know around ~15 of them by heart - the rest I almost never use (I store them on google drive behind 2FA for when I need them)

Lol yea passwords that are not frequently used can take a while to input. I do sing the song in my head almost every time.

What I would really like to do is program a simple command line application that would generate and store all of my passwords. I started on one a while ago but never finished it; its on my to do list.
