    That's actually great advice. That's why I use 'abc123'.

    I read it somewhere that the trick to create a strong password that will contain all the requirements, the upper case, lower case, special characters and etc. is to create it in a long phrase that you can easily remember all in one word so that way it's both secure and easy to remember for you. Those randomly generated passwords is no good imo cuz they are so hard to remember and it's going to be a pain to type them each time.

    Not really. It's never a good idea to reuse passwords because no matter how good it is, if it's in one dump, it's all open. I use one long one for only secure offline stuff and for online a combination of a password with some additional dynamic characters so it never repeats.

    Yes, that's a good password. Longer would be better. And if you aren't doing so already, using a password generator like that for user ids and answers to secret questions will also keep accounts more secure.

    Why are you not using 2FA on your account?
    I have configured it to be more secure for all of my accounts, even sometimes I am unable to access myself :))

    I didn't know generators could also spit out usernames and secret questions. Do you know of any good ones? Also another problem these days is that most sites require your email address as username.

    That's my problem as well. Sometimes, I don't even remember where I placed my phone. How the heck am I supposed to retrieve the damn code? :)
