I’m tired of needing 78 different passwords for all these sites

And BTW, how secure is the intricate ‘have to use 9 characters with alpha numeric specials and they can never repeat’ if everyone has to write the passwords down to remember any of them?

I’m cynical of this tech religion

I hate that now you have to use a "special character"like a "!" or "%" now. It was a bitch going to a minimum number of digits,
then had to have at least one cap,
then to have at least one number,
then can't have repeating digits, like "111",
then can't use one of the ones you have used in the past (dumbest of all rules, for if it worked in the past, why can't I go back and use it again?)

Pick 4 numbers and a special character, say @.

Eventually it will require a fingerprint, then the mark of the beast

Come up with a phrase you can remember easily. Then add the initials for the site and a number.

Like TDfrickingsucksballs69!

Or AMZfrickingsucksballs69!


Etc.

minimum is fine, it's the ones that require AN EXACT number that really piss me off. Because then you really have to come up with some shite you will never remember.
Now I save everything on my google chrome when registering.
And if you ever have to actively apply for jobs good luck . All these companies go through the same sites (ADP, icims) but can have different PW requirements, and then you're SOL because you can't save them all (google think it's the same site).

Get a Mac

ETA: Mac auto stores all your passwords so you don't have to remember ANY of them.
