phone numbers are retarded, can't believe they are still a thing
momentum carries so much fucking weight...

I still remember my childhood number. Sometimes banks ask for it as a security question. Lame-ass boomer 2FA. 🤣
😂
fuck, I just tried and I also remember my childhood number; whoa, haven't thought about that number in literally decades
the brain is so incredible
Can be used for passwords🤷♂️😁
Yeah, I have a whole password format in my head that’s easier than using a password generator and it involves a specific sequence of letters, numbers, and punctuation along with a unique identifier for the website I’m using. I tested it in a password security checker and it said it was virtually impossible to brute-force.
I used to do the same, the problem with algorithm-based passwords is that one website leak is all it takes, an algorithm a human can compute mentally will be trivially crackable
the password strength checker can't know this so I'd disregard that (i.e. a single instance of that password algorithm is strong, but one leak and all your other passwords are trivially crackable)
passwords are also stupid anyway 😂
Fair enough, I’ll probably have to get better at it.
