I'm in this picture (not god) and for once it doesn't feel that bad.

For me, it's usually for passwords that I have in my muscle memory. I'll typo, instinctively reach for backspace, and continue typing. As soon as I think about what I just wrote, no chance of continuing.

Of course, the password being in muscle memory also means continuing typing, even if it ends up being wrong, is basically just as fast as deleting the password.

What are you afraid of? Karma doesn't exist.

That is when the Zen master hits you with a stick and you get enlightened.

C'mon roll them dice

I delete all except one letter, and that letter is I. Good luck guessing whether it's an l or an I tho

Copy and paste it into a word doc and change the font

Dammit now I need to change my password

Probably a full overlap with people that have fully functional keyboards.

I finally gave up and just set a wireless keyboard on top of the built in keyboard.

I have a non-tactile mechanical keyboard so sometimes I fat finger a couple keys. I regularly just delete the last 2 characters I typed and redo it and it works more often than not. But it still feels anxiety inducing.

I understand that it's a meme and all, but, guys and gals, please, use a secure password manager and never type a password again!

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

Can't get to my password manager without logging into it and the OS.

[–] Aux -2 points 1 year ago

Don't you have multiple devices, most of which are unlocked with a fingerprint or a PIN? Literally a non-issue.

[–] Tier1BuildABear -2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, because 1 company having every password to every account you own has proven SO safe in the past.

Google keepassxc or pass on linux

[–] Aux 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which company? Ever heard of KeePass?

[–] Tier1BuildABear -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Doesn't matter, either way they'll eventually sell my info or get hacked and have it stolen. These days a sticky note on your monitor is hilariously more secure.

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

Just write all you passwords in a lockable diary. Everyone knows its rude to read another person's diary

[–] Aux 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What? Check the app, it cannot sell anything and there's nothing to steal. Man...

[–] Tier1BuildABear 1 points 1 year ago

If you trust that, I have a bridge to sell you.
