@eris i make my passwords a mixture of 2-4 random words with random letters exchanged for random special characters and capitalization as needed
its certainly not the most complex and secure thing in the world but if anyone with the ability to decrypt my password wants anything of mine they probably have means greater than decryption and i'm in way bigger shit than a password would protect
@eris mostly, yes. there's overlap here and there. but nothing grants access to everything.

I know there's some people who use password managers, then have an extra phrase they add on to all the auto-generated passwords that isn't saved. So, say the generated password is a random string 'xxxxx', you then add your extra key phrase like 'xxxxx-cat' or smth.
That way the full password is never actually stored in the password manager, and it's functionally useless even if someone breaks into it or hacks the company itself. But still easy to remember and secure.
