One time I got my password found and used by some group (was young and thought it’d never happen to me). Luckily I had thought of a slight variations for important passwords, but I went on a long all-night password change extravaganza.

After that I was scared to use any repeated one so I came up with a whole idea that night for how I could change them all to be entirely unique but have a process to determine it that I could remember. It mixes shifts in the alphabet, shifts on the keyboard, and a changing set of words plus big number and has symbols in the middle. I can always guess my own password within 2 or 3 guesses now.

I think it’s pretty useless now, because I’ve learned enough to know how password managers are just much better. But I’m too lazy to fix it right now. Probably should though. But I’m also definitely convinced my method is robust enough that it would take a team working really hard to figure it all out. I’m sure someone could figure out one portion, but figuring out all of them and how to use it for other accounts would be a full time job. I don’t have enough money or important stuff to steal for anyone to care enough I think lol
