And then it fails, and you reset it, and it says it can’t be the same as your last password
You type in passwords? Better use a password manager with random generated passwords, plus 2FA. Only copy-paste passwords and make it extremily hard to brute-force one, or have one stolen which can be used on other platforms because you use the same all over. Only unique long gibberish hidden behind a biometric lock, double protected with 2 factor Auth.
I do have exactly 2 passwords that I type, and 3 memorized.
1 for my password manager, 1 for my authenticator to get into my password manager (regularly typed)
My work password is memorized in case I have to sign in to an actual work computer
If you are following best practices, you would be using a device with a password (ideally full disk encryption, but whatever) to access the password manager in the first place. Using just biometrics to log into PC or phone is a bad idea. Most phones require a password/passcode for first unlock due to disk encryption.
I need a pass code to log into my pc and my phone. I have biometrics enabled to unlock my password manager after that.
then, lose all your passwords and cry
How would you lose them? Mine are stored in Proton pass, with biometric unlock on my phone and pc, and with a backup login code on paper locked away. My 2FA (Google authenticator, yeah I need to change to non-google, I know) is backed up on my backup phone. The password database is also backed up (offline, locked away and password protected).
How do you know my password?!

What did you mean by that?
God damn, it’s like I’m in a museum
Sometimes the opposite. My work password at this point is muscle memory. So if I type slowly and think about it I mess up. One morning after a bad night of sleep I actually couldn’t even recite my password of 10 years.

Thank God they didn’t vote Democrat, Gaza saved.
Wrong post?
