No idea if it’s all the passwords I have to remember, or part of getting older πŸ€”

Use a password manager yoooo. I spent half a decade avoiding it and said fk it one weekend and set it up. It takes some time to set it up the first time but it's the way to go.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do. The damn bank website gave me "you can't reuse passwords try again" on something the password manager generated for me on the first attempt at entering a password, and then the account froze and the bank manager had to unfreeze the account (the teller helping me couldn't manage to unfreeze it for reasons neither of us understood). I think i have a hell of a knack for breaking computers if that's a job.

Breaking computers is a job. It's called software QA

How to enter windows login password using password manager 😠

[–] idunnololz 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Install the password manager on your phone and view it on your phone. Then copy your randomly generated gibberish password with 700 characters by hand :^)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, this is the struggle. Ideally passwordless smart card login becomes more common.

I used a randomly generated password as a child. I copied it by hand so many times I memorized it. I still use that password today for something. So technically even if you did use a randomly generated password for your PC you will probably memorize it if you type it enough.

[–] idunnololz 2 points 1 year ago

The serious answer tho is I just use a password I remember for my computer. I use a phrase so it's easier to remember. It's still way easier to remember 2 passwords vs like 20. Password managers also just make it more secure because it makes it super easy to use super strong unique passwords for each service.

With a USB barcode scanner and store a barcode/QR code in your password manager on your phone.

Use the password manager on your phone

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, I'll copy 'X*Pe$#5t6ZnJF6$JnpahpGSrry' over in two seconds flat ☺️

[–] idunnololz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where do you live so I can break in and try the password?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] idunnololz 2 points 1 year ago

Pog. I've always wanted to visit Australia.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use a password manager and have still had that happen.

Pasted from manager, incorrect. Ok, maybe I saved the wrong one… change password, use one saved because I’m too lazy to generate a new one - can’t be same as current. πŸ˜‘ Fuck you, shit-ass Best Buy website.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This just sounds like user error to me. Click the correct copy button and it should work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's the single biggest quality of life improvement I've made in the last 3 years. I wish I had done it sooner (and if anyone reading hasn't got one yet, Bitwarden is FOSS and can be selfhosted.)

I actually found it quite fun to go through all my logins and change any shitty passwords, adding them to the password manager as I went. It's a great quest for when you want to procrastinate from doing something important by doing something that feels productive.

[–] AlecSadler 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This reminds me of when USAA would let you enter a longer password on the login screen than was actually possible to set, so if you generated a 14 digit password and pasted it into the password reset, it wasn't immediately evident that it only took 12. But on login, you could enter all 14 characters and then it'd just say it's wrong. I'm...90% sure they don't do that anymore.

Also, KeyBank used to (or maybe still is? I closed my account years ago) not support case sensitive passwords. So whether your caps lock was on or not, or you alternated upper/lower however you wanted, your password still worked. I think they were converting to lowercase on the back end.

There are definitely other sites that still have that problem, though, unfortunately.

[–] GrabtharsHammer 13 points 1 year ago

This generally occurs when a user enters the correct password, but has a typo in the username. The user is psychologically fixated on the password and overlooks the actual mistake.

Then, when changing the password, they re-enter the current password and finally discover the password was never the problem.

I know this is an obscure reference, but that last panel is the same as Linkara's reaction to when in the terrible comic Marville, Spike Lee was revealed to be the Kingpin (of parody-version Marvel).

I'd be wondering if I really need to use that website, personally.
