It is unique and I have MFA enabled so it hasnβt changed in a very long time. As per current security best practices.

CHANGED passw0rd123! TO passw0rd1234!
Oh cool, Lemmy automatically obfuscates your password. All I see is *************!
hunter2
******* here
*************!
All I see is **************
Much more secure ππΎ
I just use the last 12 digits of pi for all my passwords. So easy to remember!
So you found them huh?
Lol, like there is.
Just changed it to hunter3, thought it was time I should upgrade security
But I'm only seeing *******. I guess that's because it's your password not mine.
(rip bash.org)
3 is actually a really easy number to guess (first prime after 2, number of people in a threesome, etc.). You should probably go with 4.
Nice try
Six months ago, as the wrong password message happily reminds me regularly.

Use a yubikey, password is useless unless hacker can obtain your physical key also
You are supposed to do that?
Side note I try to do that about once a year.
If you're memorizing your password, don't change it too often because it'll just confuse you and encourage you to pick easy to remember passwords which are less secure. Change your password if you hear about a hack, or have reason to suspect your password got leaked. Otherwise there's no need.
If you have a password manager though, go off. Change it as often as you'd like.
(Also 2FA, unique passwords per site, etc etc etc)
No, youβre not.

Alright, I have no idea. It's probably been around ten years since I've deleted it.
Last week. In an effort to de-google as much of my PC as I could the only chromium based browser I have is edge. I used librewolf for general browsing (unlock) and Firefox for porn (unlock and no script). Librewolf has known issues working with YouTube which will cause even the highest speed internet to have YouTube be choppy AF. So I used edge for YouTube. But there is a known big in edge that logs you out of everything when you close the browser. And after a dozen times of 2FA logging in I just said fuck it and changed my Gmail password...and can't close edge of I want to continue to watch certain channels
A bit over two months ago. I try to go through my password manager to change all my passwords and clean up unused accounts a couple times a year.
What Google password?
I donβt intend to browse RMS-style, but I have zero need of a Google account, nor of the major search engines directly.
I just add layers between myself and that particular company. I still can get their data, but without the creep factor.
Mostly.
Itβs an imperfect solution, but Iβm more comfortable with access by proxy than direct access.
Which phone OS are you using?
IOS presently, partially to simplify de googling.
A couple of years ago. It's like 30 random characters generated by a password manager, and i have 2fa on. Far more secure than my silly emails warrant. There's not much there worth stealing.
Years ago. Google changes the ways to sign in more frequently. 2FA messages, authenticator, then confirming sign-in on a separate device, which now seems to have been standardized as passkeys.
Who uses Google?
Statistically, that's what's on your phone.
graphene os is a thing.
And a few more, and apples. But statistically...
Graphene os is a niche within a niche. I'd never even heard of it before I joined lemmy, and I'm no stranger to custom roms.
You might as well ask "Who drives f150's?" A metric fuck-ton of people
What is an f150?
If you're being earnest, it's been the best selling vehicle every year in the US for four decades straight.
In 2003, Bill Burr wrote βNIST Special Publication 800-63. Appendix Aβ -- a security document that recommended passwords be changed every 90 days, and have irregular caps and special characters. When asked about it, and the resultant trends in people adding !@#$%^&*() to the end of their passwords, Burr said something enlightening:
Lmao
so yeah I hit the Bitwarden generate button and forget
I try to change it every other year or so. Then I forget it because I did not type it in and have to reset it to the old one.
After 5 times of this I've just given up and won't change it until my password is in a common password dictionary
