Shoutout to the free password manager I finally tried after my cousin's account got hacked

I set it up for my 50 main logins last month, and it flagged 12 passwords I'd reused across sites. Anyone have a good method for remembering the master password without writing it down?

Ever notice how we all have that ONE password we use for everything until something bad happens? I turned mine into a line from a song I'll never forget.

Try a password manager, it changed my life.

Ugh, song lyrics are a trap. They're way easier to guess than people realize. Honestly, a password manager is the only way to go. You get one crazy strong master password and it makes everything else for you. I held out for years and it was just dumb.

Yeah, I read this article about using a short, weird sentence you can picture in your head, like "myblueteacupdancedonTuesday." It's long but tells a story so it sticks. Totally agree with @nguyen.angela that a manager is the move, but that master key is scary to trust to memory alone.
